Any updates on how your ladder preformed? I just received my 3 step ladder and the spring/catch is surprisingly stiff to actuate, I'm not sure if some of the smaller people aboard would be able to put in in the "stored position" while on top of the platform. did you experience any difficulties? That being the case, my usage may have just changed to primarily being used for entry/exit of the boat while on the trailer, at the launch. Or a replacement for a 2 step with the rubber latch.
