If you are going to varnish the steps to mat ch the transom (as I have done), put some sand into the varnish on the step treads. You get the nice varnish look, but the sand makes it 'grippy' underfoot.

GB 42 owner here and I too was dissatisfied with the original size and design of the OEM steps. I fabricated new supports from aluminum and had them powder-coated. I made teak treads and some extra sets that can be swapped out when refinishing is necessary. I've had them on our boat for a few years now and they're rock solid.

You have done a delicate and great job, achieving in an elaborate and elegant creation.
