Trick Step or Easy Step

[schodackbassman]

Wade – I noticed that the pole and first step on larger models is down a bit from the deck.  Also a member of the O & F club it looks awkward.  I have an 07 Classic  and the step off front of boat to first step & pole are almost even.  Looking at the ones on the Caracal it looks like a pretty good step down from the deck.  A higher pole and top step would help.  I’m leaning towards the Ezzy Step but the step BCB installs appears will be in the way.  I can’t remember (that O & F club thing again) if the two metal supports for the fiberglass step on the tongue is bolted on or welded.  I’m thinking it’s welded.  My boats in storage so I can’t check.

I believe BCB is working on some possible changes to the front step and pole set up. Do keep in mind, a taller pole does run the chance of hitting the top of a shed. Garage doors are slightly higher.

My buddy installed the Trick Step on his Nitro. He has a metal shed to park his boat. He has to remove the boat from the truck hitch and then lower the jack to shove the boat thru the door for the pole to miss the top of it.

I believe the best design is to continue using the current fiberglass step as the starting point. Its position keeps you further out the water and closer to the tongue on shallow ramps.

I have been looking hard at these lately.
