Will this work for older people to board a boat from the shoreline?

I don't think so. We have it for emergency but it does not sit very secure.

Yes his a very good ladder. But you still have to be physically capable of climbing the ladder. No matter your age.
148268
Probably not, it hangs straight down. the hooks need to be straight to be safe. I don't think it would be a safe idea.
148269
Maybe, but they would need pretty good arm strength and probably someone at the top to help them over the gunwale.

I would have to say no. This ladder is going to require a lot of coordination and upper body strength to hoist oneself up and over the side of the boat. My dad is 69 years old and I would not expect him to board the boat using this ladder (unless he fell overboard)...I would just go pick him up at the dock.

might be a bit big for a pack - we use it to go to and from the boat from shore

Yes.. Pull it backwards and it will go easily... we bought it to use for the beach and we love it!!!!

It's all a matter of balance; with two people should work. Also would work best with a narrow kayak.

Its designed for older kids. I tried it and it worked with no issues. I am 240

Yes, that's possible. On my first trip I forgot all about raising the wheels and left them down till I was halfway across the Bay. Steering seemed a little sluggish -- logical, since the rudder is right between the two wheels, and so was not 100% effective -- but nothing disastrous happened. The next time I raised the wheels as soon as I boarded the boat, before taking off.

It sure would, without a problem. I use my Life Board on my rear porch, with similar decking.

Yes, I do believe that it would. I know the two-man kayaks are much heavier, but I don't see why it wouldn't as long as you go steady and easy.

Should work fine as long as you have a antenna on the boat, also it depends how far you trying to send to another cb.

I'm a 5'5" 64 year old woman...and when it's not waterlogged I can pull it up on shore by myself. But...it does not have a sealed hull and so once it's water logged it moves very slowly through the water and takes 3 men to flip it We did just purchase a small manual pump...that we are hoping will work to pump it out when this happens. The plug for draining is not in a convenient unless you are pumping it out.

I am sure this would tip over when the boat starts moving. You would be best served looking for another option. That's my opinion anyway. Good Luck!

It could, I have it overhead on a boat and works great, a stationary wall would probably be OK.

Yes for your purpose it would work. It didn't work for us at a long wooden marina dock because the front wheels would each go their own way and no way to lock them in order to pull straight. In the parking lot it was fine though.

I'm pretty sure it will, however I imagine that it will have less surface area to hold the boards down, but should still work.

Yes! I used it while out on a boat, everything works perfect. It is a very snug fit though, you have to feel around for the buttons on the side.

It all depends on the boat. The smaller and lighter the boat the better they seem to work.especially once on plane which is why you would put it on anyway. It does make my boat feel less squirrelly but the manufacturer does state you can loose control on certain boats. I guess you just have to try it and see if it works for you

for a 91 year old, it should be. my grandma uses it to brace her self when we are transporting her. she also uses it to slide push herself up when she is trying to escape.
