    Trailer ladder?

    As i descend into the murky world of old age and more year round boating/fishing I'm beginning to think more about ease of use. To that end I'm thinking about steps/ladder to get over the bow in an upright position. I'm also pretty sold on the auto latch, probably the Drotto. I've been...
