A boat support chock comprising a one-piece unitary molded plastic unit including a substantially rectangular flat base, means on the base co-planar with the base for attachment to a boat deck, a rear wall member at one end of the base and at a right angle to the flat base, longer than the base, and having the same width as the flat base, a front wall member at the other end of the rectangular flat base, at a right angle thereto parallel to the rear member and approximately one-half the length thereof,
- a curved member connecting the top ends of the front and rear members, the curved member presenting an upper, boat supporting member on the chock with a concave upper surface, the arc presented by the curved member having a radial projection at angles to the base and both rear and front wall members,
- a supporting strut extending from the area of the junction of the base and the rear member, to the convex side surface of the curved member said strut having a width equal to the widths of base and members, the strut comprising two plane elements in spaced parallel relation, and including a web extending parallel to and between said two elements.
