Abstract
This invention is a transportation and launching device for boats which can be handled by one person. If the boat is carried in a vehicle such as a pick-up truck or station wagon, the device can be left engaged with the boat during the vehicular transport. Thereafter the device is used to move the boat to the edge of the water wherein by the pulling of a lanyard the boat will slide from the device and into the water. Recovery of the boat is equally simple with it being pulled up onto the device with the weight of the boat holding the same in place during transport back to the vehicle, storage area or other desired location.
