I had an old 2-step one from Defender that I used for my smaller boat that was a gift. When I got my tri-cabin last year it came with some homemade steps that were way too narrow.

I wanted to incorportate my old steps for sentimental reasons, so I built a platform to incorporate them to get the proper height I needed.

I am in the final painting step now and will post a pic soon as I am done.

Here's my steps - 1 - 2 - 3. I wanted to keep my old plastic ones that my parents bought me before my Dad died - but needed something high enough to get up to my Tri.

i just went to home depot and picked up a few 2x4s and had some plywood i made into steps, coated it all in resin for rot purposes and then painted it... worked great for about 4 years now
