Very nice! I have the same ladder on my boat, and both my 6 year old and 3 year old have no problems with it. That is a huge bimini on your boat. Is that the OE bimini, because if it is, FW is cost cutting on the newer boats.......

You just added the best and soon to be most used square footage of your boat and the Fourwinns folding ladders are a lot better than those telescoping ones. Your kids will have a blast with both. Nice safety feature too.

Thanks guys...even better than I expected.

Y-guys - that is the OEM platform that you could have ordered from the factory back when my boat was new. The ladder is the current one used on new FW boats.

blue dragon - no, that is a custom bimini and it is large. Extends from the windshield all the way back past the rear seat and over most of the small sun pad on the back. All SS, solid as a rock and heavy as he**.

Here is a picture with it deployed...

You're going to love the swim step! I like the size of your bimini - nice to be able to have that kind of coverage.

Absolutely the best thing you can add. It's a huge reason I don't have 2 foot itis. Can't believe how big the twins are getting!

Still holding out some hope. But after finding out I need to change my circulation pump as well as my blower and finishing up my "shortie" poles. Saturday might have to be a project day.
