Recommended 4-Step Ladder For Pontoon Boat With Flat Deck

Question:

Im looking at the JIF25FR and the JIF65FR and dont understand the difference between the round and flat front for mounting. I have a flat front, but from the pictures the 65FR looks the same

I would be happy to help!

The differences between these two ladders is not that one is for flat front mounting and the other for a round front, instead the # JIF65FR is designed for pontoon boats with a round front, and the # JIF25FR is designed for tritoon boats so it is quite a bit narrower.

Since your pontoon boat has a flat front you will want to go with the Jif Marine Underdeck Pontoon Ladder for Flat Decks - 4 Steps - 48" Tall - 300 lbs - Aluminum # JIF45FR instead as it is designed for flat decks like yours, and has a different mounting bracket to accommodate this style of deck.

I included a video of the # JIF45FR for you to take a look at.
