Pete's is the "Tournament Master" edition - gives some extra stuff.  Maybe that's the difference?


oooh, cool!  What kind of extra stuff came with the Tourney Master editions?   :drunken:

Let's see...on a 225 Osprey?

-Trim tabs
-Double-wide leaning post, folds down to be a seat
-Hard Top T-Top
-HD Aluminum Bow Rail
-Single batt switch, dual w/twins
-Canvas windscreen for T-Top
-Cockpit bolsters
-Fwd rod holders on gunnels
-Porta-potti
-Fresh Water system
-Custom Graphics
-Gold rub-rail insert
-Armstrong Dive ladder

Think that does it... :roll:


Hey Bob, tell me more about this Armstrong Dive ladder... I need a longer ladder on my 225.  Being a scuba diver, those 2 rungs don't extend low enough into the water for me to haul my fat a$$ up out of the water without bruises!  I just have the standard folding ladder, I guess.

Is the Armstrong Dive ladder longer?  Any idea where I could find one?

You just need to remember that it's down before you take off - an expensive oops!
Might think about putting a clothes pin on the ignition key when you have the ladder in the water - that'll jog your memory to pull it back in.

Rick,
The one that came on my boat has a locking pin that keeps the ladder in place,and the bracket is hinged and kicks up if you leave it on while under power,no danger of losing it :salut:

Nice. That's the kind to get.
I have friends that have a couple bent ones in their garages from leaving them down - didn't have the mount you do.

the ladder on the boat is actually a windline not an armstrong.

Thanks, fellas!

So the Windline bracket looks to be $89, and the 3-rung dive ladder is listed at $121 for the DL-3X.

Does that sound about right, or could I find it cheaper elsewhere?  Was hoping not to spend $200 if I don't have to...

Mike,
We don't pay much less than that at OEM cost for the same ladder and mount...

Pete-

Do you know the overall length of that 3-step ladder?  Their website didn't give the dimensions that I could see, and I'm debating getting the 4-step ladder to be sure it's long enough.
