Boarding Ladder

[DooWap]

I just bought my first boat a couple weeks ago, a new to me 2002 Lund Pro V 1800. With as hot as it's been this summer it's sometimes nice to jump in the water after a morning of fishing. While it's possible, it can be a pain to get back in the in the boat without a ladder. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a boarding ladder that can be used with a Pro V? I tried one I found at Fleet that is supposed to hang over the gunwales, but the gunwales on the Pro V are too wide for it. I can't use anything on the transom as I have Wave Wackers that would get in the way.

Mine hangs off of the back of the boat. My kids, who are now not kids, didn't seem to have much of a problem climbing in. Me however, is a different story. I do my cooling off at the ramp!!!!!!!!!!!

I have one of those cheap-ish rope ladders with the plastic steps that fold into one another. I just throw the top loop over a cleat on my Navigator and it works well. Then again, I'm only a 190lbs so I don't know if it works well for big guys.

The rope ladder might not be a bad route to go. I only weigh around 175 so I don't need anything too strong.
