Anyone have their 23 handy and still on the trailer? Need the dimension from the ground to the rubrail just aft of the companionway bulkhead.
Been using a 6' step ladder for access on tow trips, thrown in the bed of my truck. Not the best, want to take half of a 16' extension ladder, add appropriate soft standoffs and locks and make a spot with permanent clips for it on the trailer while I have the trailer at the house. My boat is in the water, don't have that dimension.
My trailer is performance with 14" wheels.
Brack - I use an Extend & Climb telescoping ladder seen here:

Works great and is the ultimate in stowability. A little more than a hundred clams.

I use an aged and very scary old 8 foot fiberglass step ladder. A few wood splices and duct tape at the feet seem to hold my weight just fine. I like Tim's ladder...that'd be good to stow in a car trunk. My 8 footer lives on the trailer next to the boat.
Happy climbing!

I tie a fender to the ladder and then tie the ladder to the boat. Works great. No scratches and its held in place real sturdy. I think its a 7' ladder.
