I had my left knee replaced two years ago and realized that getting into our pontoon to load out was very difficult without my husband's help. So I started looking to see if anyone made a step to add to our boat trailer to help me. I finally found the Omega extra step and was so excited. I just had my right knee replaced 4 months ago so I ordered one to start off our boating season. Wow, what a difference it makes. I can now get in the boat to load out of and out of it after loading it, without any assistance. It made all the difference in the world for me. It's exactly what I needed.
