Just curious, how easy is it to tip over a 14' or 16' fiberglass boat?
Something with a 'V' hull, probably a small outboard motor, assume calm water. When I say tip over I'm talking about someone trying to climb back in one if they fell out. Would it tip over pretty easily or could you heave yourself back into it over the side? Thanks, Mike V. |

Others have mentioned a boarding ladder, which is a great idea. But, don't
try and save storage space by getting the kind whose steps are attached to lengths of rope. When you climb onto the first or second steps, which are underwater, your weight pushes them under the boat, thereby making the whole contraption useless. If you need proof of this, and will pay collect shipping charges, I'd be happy to send you my rope ladder. |
