Good choice, imo.
We were working on our
boat this week, under wraps in the boatyard, and I was reminded of the hazard and expense of hauling and cradling/blocking a deep
draft boat. Ours is under 4 ft. - our friend has 7 ft.
draft and his ladder is very, very long and precarious. Taking out his
batteries was an exercise in stupidity
on the hard...luckily none of us were hurt, but it's not smart for old geezers to do this!
A few people in the yard have built actual wooden stairs to their
boats. We call them staircases to heaven...if there is a lot of
work to be done, it probably makes sense.
