I'm over weight & in my 70's. My stern mounted, fold down ladder has a 30 degree outward tilt that helps my body weight lean into the boat. The first stept is low enough for an easy starting step.

I noticed that drop down ladders that hang straight down require more arm strength to pull your body into the boat. AND the first stept is important for older persons to reach.
