ABSTRACT:
The present invention entails an adjustable boat cradle for supporting a boat. There is disclosed a rectangular base frame structure with a plurality of adjustable vertical support assemblies strategically located and connected to the base frame structure. Typically said vertical support assemblies extend generally upwardly from at least the corner areas of the base frame structure and includes an upper cradle pad that actually engages a side portion of the boat's hull while the keel of the boat is directly supported by an underlying support. To accommodate hulls of various sizes and shapes, the effective length and angle of orientation of the vertical support assemblies can be conveniently adjusted. In addition, the cradle pads are universally mounted about the vertical support assemblies such that they will rest adjacent the hull irrespective of the orientation of the support structure comprising the respective vertical support assemblies.
