My wife has severe rheumatoid arthritis, having had both hips replaced & a knee & uses crutches much of the time & she is also legally blind, but she would like to go with me some when I go fishing. I have a 1982 Bomber Bassmaster 15' bass boat & getting in the boat from the dock or from the bank is extremely difficult especially haing to step down a ways from front deck or dock. Does naybody have a suggestion on how I might rig up something for temporary assistance for her getting in the boat easier when she wants to go fishing.

Hi JL,<br />Do you trailer?<br /><br />If so, can you rig some removable steps - a bit like a boarding ladder - so that she can get in the boat while it's still on the trailer, before you put it in the water?
