I swear I saw somewhere that my 3 step Windline standard ladder has a 300 lb. capacity, but I can't find that factoid again.
The ladder does have a sticker saying not to use it when out of the water. I noticed that after 3 months of using it to board after putting it on the trailer. Heck, half the time the ladder is down in the garage with a little rug under it to wipe feet before boarding.
I guess that the ladder is less stressed when your body is somewhat bouyant in the water, but my middle step puts 90% of my 200 lb. body out of the water anyway.
The ladder does bend sort of obviously when I climb it while out of the water. Anybody have any problems with this?
