Telescoping Ladder Madifications?

Hey Strangers.....Back..missed everyone! Wife unit is complaining about not being able to get in and out of the Ambassador easily. she has a point the ladder just doesn't go down far enough to be able to get the leverage to pull yourself out of the water. My boat has a single rung that folds down about 11" but the platforn is at water level. Kids have no problem but adults it is a bear. I was thinking of taking one of the telescoping units that I see for sale and modifying it to collaspe and then flip up like the current rung does. this would put 2 or 3 rungs going down much deeper. Has anyone done this with any success? TIA

Hi Sam. I have an 86 Ambassador & thought the same thing. I picked up a 3 step tele job at Boater's World. It is designed as a fold-up. I haven't installed it yet, but fitting looks pretty simple without mods.

I'll try to remember to lay it in place & take a photo for you. Good luck!
