TOPIC: Boat ladder

Happened to stumble across an old episode of flipper and there was this really neat ladder they had. Would like to build ine for my old DUO boat. Anybody ever see one or have prints by chance?

to me it looks like it would need to conform to the shapes of your boat to "lock" on to the boat and be a safe fit. does a ladder like that slap over the side of the boat? use your image as a rough guide and make a cardboard template that will fit the shape of your boat and lock over the shape of the top edge.

Can't help you out but I will say I loved the boat they used in Flipper. It was a neat tri-hull cuddy from what I recall. Part of what warped my mind as a kid to be into these old fiberglassics.

It has been a while, but was it a Boston Whaler by chance?

I believe it was a Thunderbird.

Looks like that ladder weighs a ton.
