Pontoon Rental

This is kind of expensive (although if you rent a boat for a week, it will pay for itself) but maybe you could make something like this?

That device is good at your own dock, but doesn't look portable. It wouldn't do much good at the Weirs, Meridith, Alton Bay, etc.

I've seen these in a variety of configurations, especially where the tide has an impact. Mostly they attach to the boat, often with a step and then a 90 degree turn so the plank doesn't extend across the dock very far. On a smaller boat, you might need a step inside to come down from the gunwale. I bet they cost the same as renting a 'toon for the week.

Agree, but maybe he could adapt it if he is handy. Or get someone to make him one that would work but not be as heavy or awkward. Just a thought? I remember when my mom had a hard time getting into the boat.
