Neat aluminum step for tin boats

[VinTin]

I use a short length of rope to make a foot loop, the same rope that is used in the bow eye. I used to climb aboard after swimming using the anti ventilation plate but I could see lower leg injury in my future!

One of the sponsors here does but they are not inexpensive. https://therescuestep.com/

WoW that's incredibly expensive, I guess when you add life saving device to it the decimal moves over $

Holy crap!!! For that price they need to forget about the different colors and just offer in with gold plating.

I just emailed Vance Mfg and asked them to see if they would consider making more! Nothing to lose by asking!

FYI - I received an email reply about the discontinued 'Easy Step' from Vance Mfg, where I added the emphasis ...

Mr. Hubbard,

Yes sir, we had to discontinue the easy step due to several reasons. The price of aluminum, labor, and decreased sales of the item lead us to discontinue. I saw on your site (TinBoats) where a member posted a link to a donor who was building a similar design and charging $169.99 ....

That is where we were headed in price. In the future, we may make one out of solid billet and machine away the unwanted metal, but for right now it is not cost effective. Thank you for your good words and great posts supporting our company and products! I hope one day we can introduce it again.

What is the $30 in hardware needed?

Mine is still setting on the shelf. Keep telling myself to install it but haven't.

Current adv. says "Discontinued"

Was a great idea. Somebody probably slipped off and sued them. Any other similar choices? I like it and I need something soon.

I like the idea of something like this but I'm not sure my little 14fter is stable enough to climb back in without swamping it. I know I've leaned way over the back to mess with the motor without any issues but it does sit a little low in the water. Idk. May have to go out in shallow water & try it to see what happens.

Here's a picture of the step next to a US bill (> 6" long) so the size is about 7" wide and almost 10" tall. It is made from cast aluminum and looks beefy enough for the intended use.

My skiff will be moored in saltwater, so I intend to make sure I put Tef-Gel on the SS bolt threads to prevent galvanic corrosion between the SS and aluminum, especially being near an ideal electrolyte - saltwater.

Hey! I think those are the two twenties I lost!
