Recently purchased a pristine 480MY and need better dock access. Does anyone have experience with Marquipt boarding stairs or ladder? Looking for personal experience with convenience vs hassle of use. Thanks in advance!

I Also own a Pristine 2004 480MY and have no problem entering from the swim platform when using a floating dock. I have a condo on a lake ofF of Lake Michigan that has a boat garage with a fixed height dock. There I enter the boat just in front of the side entry plexiglass doors where the boat railing slides open. No stairs or ladders needed.

We do a free standing ladder on port side

Use marquis to stairs as the transom doesn’t line up to the dock.

But still looking for better solution - going up 4 stairs, stepping on gunwhale and then down a narrow 3-step ladder into cockpit isn’t ideal on regular basis.
