I have 1 inch rails, double except at the ladder where it is single. I sometimes keep a 85 lb outboard clamped next to it and I have a radar pole outboard to the motor with no issues.

My swim ladder actually comes slightly above the lower rail when up where it tie it. My concern is that I have a motor mount and a 65 Lb outboard on the stern rail port side vertical post which I will have to shift more to port but wondered about the rail strength after cutting. Any thoughts? I am also looking for a lighter outboard with a little less HP.

Yes, its a pain! I wonder how much you would weaken the rail if it were split with two gates too. However, I only use the ladder when the boat is on the hard.

It involves having the pulpit modified of course (middle section removed). Yeah, it's a pain climbing over the rail. I always instruct my guests to grab a hold of the backstay to steady themselves.

I'm thinking this might make the stern rail too weak when the gate is open. Has this been discussed?
