Yeah, nicely done! I have an aluminum two-step flip-down with four mount points, similar to the one David posted a link to (except the upper step is fixed in place as part of what mounts to the transom - only the lower step flips down). It came with my Monty so I haven't messed with it so far...works fine, as long as one is flexible enough to pull one's feet up high, knees to chest for us tall people, to get feet on the lower step. If you want something less gymnastic...go with a three-step, or a 3-4 step telescoping one that goes deeper into the water when deployed. I may move mine horizontally, as it is mounted a bit to the outside, such that the outer vertical bar is in the water a bit when heeling to that side. I doubt it has any major effect on speed, but still...:-) cheers, John S. On 04/03/2018 11:21 AM, David Grah via montgomery_boats wrote:

I am looking to mount a boarding ladder as soon as the weather cooperates, presently 40 deg. in NWI 50 mi. E of Chicago.
Would like some feed back as to which type and any ideas on mounting same.
Looking at where I would have to get to indicates either mounting a hatch on the starboard side of the cockpit stern to get to the mounting screws or borrowing my great grand daughter (6 yr.) to clime into the starboard locker and hold the nuts. I have spoken to my grandson and he is o.k. with that?
