Now that Wesbar no longer makes a bow to beach ladder - what are people using?

I live in Minnesota and do my boating on the mighty Mississippi. I want to beach my boat and camp. But how do I get from the bow of my boat to dry land. Wesbar used to have a perfect solution with their accordian style ladder but they are no longer available. Any ideas ? Like the idea of a ladder that folds up and stays up on the bow for space savings.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks -Ken

Back the boat in and walk to shore. Just make sure your drive is all the way up, and it's in deep enough water to float without hitting bottom. Can't say I have seen anyone use the bow of a cruiser for access to the shore. In a bow rider yes, not in a cruiser with a bow rail.

We have used the foldable utility ladders that you find at Wally World and use around the house. They are easy to store and the top handle is tall enough that I can reach down and retrieve it once everyone is loaded up.

We will "bow in" in the winter season when the water is cold (below 80 deg) Yes call us Southerners wimps.... :wink:
