I made my own, fashioned like the EZEE Steps. Pretty simple actually. Had the powder coated, but you could just spray them with auto undercoating. You can’t see it well, but mine are two independent steps. I had a pair of EZEEs before on my Crestliner. I guarantee you will never regret the purchase.
Reddog, looks good. I might be looking for a winter project but have fairly basic tools. Did you end up welding (which I don’t have)? Thanks –
Yes, mine are welded, 3 parts, the base 1/4 inch flat steel and 4 Inch U Bolts) which bolts onto the trailer frame. the extension (1 1/4 square tubing) and the step, which is just flat 1/4 inch metal with 3M abrasive material applied after powder coating. I just cut the part out, and did the drilling for the U bolts, and took them to a friends shop and had them professionally welded. Theres quite a bit of torque on the angled joint to the frame plate when you step down from the boat, so make sure they get a good weld there and inspect it occasionally.
The EZEE steps are very aggresive in regards to the foot plate. I primarily only fish in the winter time, so I always have pack boots on so its not a problem. It would not be comfortable to step up into the boat with bare feet in the summer time. They are an incredibly good product, well worth the money if you dont have the means to fabricate your own. Ive gor other poictures somewhere of both sets. Ill try to dig them up.
