Aft boarding ladder improvements

When the previous owner painted the boat, he had some brainy idea that the stern scoop non skid should be painted with awl grip.  Because that has as much traction as glycerin on ice.  Dumbass.

The ladder itself is just a series of rungs with no step or nonskid either, besides the foot cramp I get going up the ladder, not happy about the safety.

When you got off the ladder, there's an area of the boat with NO nonskid, just flat and slippery.

We had to fix that, pronto.  (remember, I break ME, not the boat)

So, we added some nonskid and a step to help the process out. MUCH better.

The transom scoop with nonskid added.

New dead sexy step, which makes handling dinghy easier also.

Non-skid tape added to rungs.

More non-skid painted on slippery deck area.
