ABSTRACT:
A gangplank is provided stored underneath the platform deck of a pontoon boat, between the pontoons. The gangplank is retractable to a position beneath the platform deck of the boat and extendable from the position below the platform deck by a manually or electrically operated winch. In extending the gangplank, the gangplank is initially moved from the boat in a horizontal position until reaching a predetermined point at which the gangplank is lowered so as to lie on top of a surface to be accessed from the boat. Similarly, upon retracting of the gangplank, the gangplank is withdrawn towards the boat in an inclined position until reaching a predetermined point at which the gangplank is raised to a horizontal position to be withdrawn onto tracks located below the platform deck of the boat.
