Looks like it wouldn't work on a tri-toon though. There probably wouldn't be enough room for the ladder to fold because the logs would be in the way. Would be a good addition to a two log toon though!

In my opinion will cause a lot of noise and splash from water hitting it? :2cents

I have one, one of the best things I ever bought for my boat. I had tried a few other collapsible ladders, and it is better. It is solid, and makes getting in and out of the water much nicer. The way it mounts to the front of the boat, there is no splashing or noise when underway. I have had it for 5-6 years and have had no problems with it at all.

Thanks Much. Is there any way of getting a few pics of how it mounts? How wide is it. I have a tritoon so not much space.

Also is the switch on the ladder or the dash?

The switch is on the dash. It included enough wire in the package to install it there. I can measure and take pictures of how I mounted it this weekend, when I go to my boat. I don't have and at the moment.

If you could also measure the length when folded up under the boat, that would be great. I might be able to sneak one in if its not real long.

I found real dimensions finally.
Ladder measures 52.15/16"" top to bottom (in deployed position) x 12"" wide. In stowed position ladder is 37"" long x 8.1/2"" high.
Unbelievably, this will shoehorn into the crack. Unfortunately, I can't find one. They are no longer made and no longer exist for sale anywhere on the planet. Believe me, I searched...hard.
I still haven't heard back from CMC as to whether they have any plans to make any more.
If anybody finds them, please let me know.

Call CMC, I saw a notice they had 1 left a month or so ago.

I had to make a spacer for the rear of the assembly. It is white.
