Hey everyone, wondering if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations for adding a bow ladder to a Zieman boat trailer for a 04 Essex Vortex? We have managed for the past yr just climbing on the bow from the tongue of the trailer but this won’t work long term, or even this Summer with my wife just finding out we are pregnant. I have looked into the EZ Step and Qualitymark bow step, but I don’t have enough room on my tongue before my swivel section to mount either of those. Any ideas? I’m in the East Phoenix area.

Here is a picture to show what I am working with. It’s from when I bought it last it so it’s not as close as I would like but you can see what I am working with somewhat. I’m open to options for location. I just want an easier way to get on the boat while on the trailer.

I have one one our boat. Love it. It’s actually super simple. 2” or 1 1/2” tube steel. I’d call it a half day job. I paid 300 or maybe 400 for extreme but I could build it for cheaper and it would definitely look better. Not the best picture but gives the idea

This is basically what I had in mind, I just don’t know where to go in the Phoenix area to get something like that added to my trailer.
