    Hey Ranger Owners

    After just advancing to my 09 619 after having two complete hip replacements I’m looking to add a swim ladder / boarding ladder to my rig…

    My question is, do any of you have one on your Rangers ? Could you post a pic here of what it looks like on the back ? And also what you think of it ? How you installed it… any info would be appreciated…

    I have added the pic i received from Ranger of the ladder they recommended.. I already have the one mounted up tight against the motor mounts,two pegs that can be lowered with the pull of a pin.. and that one is just a little difficult to use with the two new hips installed…

    The Ranger ladder is great, I have one on my 05 620. my father is 65 with 2 knee replacements and he uses it without any problems. I was going to install it myself as it was a add on a used boat, but my dealer offered to do it for 30 bucks. I can post some pics tomorrow if you like,its dark out now and the boats on the lift.

    Koonce, fishing with Jason Prezkurat he has one on his 621, i made some fun of him about, till i used it to climb in and out of the boat. worked great, so i put one on my boat, took some flack for it, till they watched me use it!

    He has his on the starboard side. not sure if he added it or if it came from the factory. Add one, you’ll love it!

    I understand they make an optional walker (tennis balls included) for the front end of Ranger boats. You could also bring a local kid along to club you on the noggin if you fall in to make it a quick more painless exit.

    I have a R&R E Ladder on my Ranger and it works great. Much more compact than the previously posted ladder.

    I have the E Ladder on my Ranger already… It just isn’t the same getting in vs. the normal step boarding ladder.

    thanks for the thought though !!

    Yep, I wanted to make sure you were cool before I showed you anything. and most trip swaps there is a return trip which I’ve waited years for. And now that it is coming to fruition you are taking me fishing for bait. I can’t wait to pull my horseshoe out for you.
