Finally picked up a nice set of swim steps. Sanded, cleaned and oiled 'em and put 'em on. Hardest part was modifying and mounting the stainless brackets. These might make it a little easier to get my fat ass in-n-out of the boat.

i'd like to do mine as well. what grit sandpaper did you sand them with and what oil did you use to seal them? teak?

Thanks, Yes teak. I used fine foam sanding blocks, then used a teak cleaning/brightening/oiling kit from west marine. They came out smooth and soft as a baby's ass.
can I say that?
