Guys has or does anyone know of someone who made or purchased a dog ladder for a DW15???
I just got the boat and I have some thoughts but wouldlove to see what else has worked well.
Let me know!
Thanks!
 
Does your boat have the slotted grassing rail around the edges?

If it does you can build a folding step/ladder that hangs from the railing. Long ago a member here built one out of copper pipe and fittings. I did the same for my Black Brant 3 to fit over the side decks.

You might also be able to build one that goes next to the motor, but you will have to mount that to the stern of the boat like a dive step.
 
Hey, you found a DW15, huh? My buddy loves his and he kicks my a$$ with his 25 Yammi 4 stroke vs my 25 Mariner 2 stroke that I have on my TDB and he's got an extra guy in his boat. If you can make it work with your boat I'll sell you my TDB dog platform. If the water is too deep for him to hop up I just grab his collar and muscle him in because he NEVER wants to come in where the ladder is anyway.....doggie knows best.

Jim Thanks I hope to get it registered tommorrow and try out the 40hp nisson!!!! Should be sweet!!
I am trying to modify an old ladder I made for my last DW14 and I think it is going to work okay. The problem is the access into the boat has to be front and rear. I will keep your platfrom in mind should I give up on my modification thanks!
How was the sporting clay shoot? I would have like to have made it maybe next year!
 
Here is a pic with my made up ladder?

Nice set up. the onlything is will it work with ur blind up? i have the same boat and made mine to fit next to the motor. how did it run with the 40?
 
Ah, the ongoing confusion over the Duck Wrangler vs Wrangler boats......

This is what my buddy has and he is quite happy with it:

Bob I know what your saying about the blind being up may not be able to snap in that area whaen using your right. If the location hunting will permit it I will use it on the starboard side. Still not convinced its the way to go. can you shoot me some pics of your ladder?? sojkajohn@sbcglobal.net???
Thanks.
 
Jim that's a nice boat!
My boat was made by what is now the duckwater boat company i believe??
Is that your boat?? I thought you had a TDB???
