Like Dubob, I wear shorts and sandals in the summer and hip boots in spring and fall. Because I sometimes fish lakes and rivers that don't have docks or I just need to hit the shore, I installed a ladder on my boat for getting in and out over the bow. it is a Stainless steel folding, colaspsing 3 step ladder. I ordered it from amazon five years ago. My thoughts was why not have the ladder with the boat and not back at the trailer. It sells for about $65.

Good fishing to all. Hue
