Boarding??

Post: # 17173Post proprider »

Ok...i'm out on a river run, been running for awhile, and i feel the need to jump into the river and "refresh" myself. Now, what is the best way to climb back into the boat. I'm expecting the back of the boat to be sitting pretty low with the v-6 on it. When I had my Vector years ago, i just used the motor as a ladder. Not sure this is a very good method. Any suggestions?

Also, what about mooring? I don't see many Vipers with cleats on the sides. How do you tie them up? Just the bow eyelet and the transom eyelets?

Thanks Russ. Do you use the swim noodle to cover the edge of the wing to prevent dock rash? Slip it on like a door edge molding?
