Jet propelled watercraft loading and storing apparatus

An apparatus for loading, unloading and storing a jet propelled water vehicle of the type having a pair of parallel grooves formed in its hull and extending for substantially the length thereof comprising:

• (a) a first pair of horizontal parallel hollow tubes having substantially smooth external surfaces and of a shape and size suited to serving as supporting tracks for sliding the jet propelled water vehicle thereon between leading and trailing ends thereof with the hull grooves thereof resting on said tubes;
• (b) a second pair of parallel hollow tubes having substantially smooth external surfaces slidably mounted within said first pair of tubes and extendable therefrom to provide an extension of the supporting tracks formed by said first pair of tubes, said second pair of tubes having leading and trailing ends and in one mode being bendable such that when the leading ends of each of the second pair of tubes are nested in respective trailing ends of said first pair of tubes, said second pair of tubes tend to bend when the weight of the jet propelled water vehicle is received by the trailing ends of said second pair of tubes in transferring the vehicle from the second to the first pair of tubes and in another mode when said second pair of tubes rest on a support located at substantially the same elevation as said first pair of tubes, said second pair of tubes provide horizontal supporting tracks for storing said vehicle;
• (c) first support means for adjustably spacing and supporting the said leading and trailing ends of said first pair of tubes;
• and
• (d) spacer means joining the trailing ends of said second pair of tubes and operative to maintain said trailing ends of said second pair of tubes spaced apart a distance substantially equal to the distance said first pair of tubes are spaced apart and mating the spacing of the hull grooves of the vehicle to be transported thereon.
