River Rat, your post made me check our 6 step swim ladder and I found out it's rated for 300 lbs. That weight limit seemed sufficent when we bought it but may not be based on your expierence. Also our dingy davit also is rated a 300 lbs and I always thought in a MOB situation I could sling someone aboard with the davit. I for one will be looking at alternative life saving methods.
One thing comes to mind from my Navy background. Cargo nets, easy to stow and quick to deploy IF the person in the water has the strength to climb it. Might need to use a sling and net in some cases.
