Hi Kendall, I did no further research on the hidden ladder idea. I would guess the next step, if you are interested in one, would be to find a Triton boat dealer and see if they could help out. I carried a rope and plastic rung ladder that rolled up and stowed in the dry locker. The frugal hidden ladder aproach. The ladders Bob is using on the new M15's look very nice. Have you tried calling or E-mailing Montgomery Boats? Bill On 3/1/08, kdocter@bellsouth.net <kdocter@bellsouth.net> wrote:

Bill Lamica, Did you ever hear back who we might purchase a retractable, hidden ladder from? Garelick makes them but only sells to boat builders? Has anyone heard of a "clone" ladder that rivals Garelicks that we could purchase? http://www.msogphotosite.com/garelikladr.html

Any thoughts from anybody on the best brand paint to use. On my 1981 model, the stripe is about 1" and it looks puny compared to the later models. Has anyone used decals that worked really well? Or should I just have it repainted?
