Well, I did do something to my Four Winns recently...
I extended the factory FW bi-fold ladder by 16" and added one more step!
This is the original:

Anyway, many thanks to Jesse Holman from the FB group for the idea on how to do this. It uses a factory FW tri-fold ladder that is used on the early 2000's FW's with swim platforms. Only the middle & lower sections are used, and they (almost) bolt right up to the upper section of the original bi-fold ladder. You do have to grind down the backside of the upper portion of the middle section to allow the bolt holes to line up between the original upper and the new middle section. I had to remove about 1/16" of material. (If you don't do this, you can bolt the ladder sections together, but it will bind and you won't be able to fold/unfold the ladder.)
The FW part # for the tri-fold ladder is: 031-0492
These are kind of hard to find though, at least new. I've been searching for over 8 weeks before I finally found a used one, and I snapped it up without even questioning the price!
We get to give it a full test run this weekend to see how much easier it will be to get back into the boat.
