I recently looked at an old sparetire holder,on my floor in my garage and deceided to make a step out of it.I welded a 3inch rise and a flat plate to it,and installed some non slip tape to the foot plate.I was getting sick of launching the boat alone with the trolling motor,electric anchor,fishfinder in the way.Now i just step on the trailer frame and step on the step and im in-might make a handle to grab also.I looked around and found the prices on these to be ridiculos 2-400 dollar for a step or steps come on.I spent 30.00 total.http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll64/corvette744/trailerstep-3.jpg

Nice work. A friend of mine with a 16' rig was recently trying to help the "get in over the bow" problem with his setup, we ended-up re-locating his spare tire to lay horizontally on the trailer tongue, so he now uses that as a step-up from the tongue to the bow.

Nice work....looks good! It helps that you can weld things. ;)

Great idea, and looks good. Yep, knowing how to weld is a big plus.
