[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 255566, member: 6937"] If you have a Sport Port (floating jet ski dock) that will work great for storing the boat, which will keep it out of the water. Also, since it's made for running a jet ski onto, the material the sport port is made from will not abrade the bottom of your boat....unlike a wooden ramp on a floating dock, or pulling onto a beach. I've kept a 14 foot Dura Craft and my 16 foot Dura Craft jetboat on a sport port. They're easy to drive onto, but, depending on boat weight, you may have to use some reverse engine, or even have to physically shove the boat off the sport port. The davit will also work, you just need a lifting bridle with some heavy duty SS kicker hooks or shackles, to attach to your bow and stern eyes. If you have access to a welder, some galvanized schedule 40 pipe and a couple of winches, you can fabricate a davit for a small boat for a small amount of investment. [/QUOTE]
