ABSTRACT:
A fastening assembly is disclosed to attach a boat or like vehicle to a boat trailer or similar type of boat support. The assembly comprises a cradle which includes at least two arm elements attached to a suspension assembly which is interconnected between the boat support or trailer and the cradle. The cradle has a configuration which is substantially convergent or V-shaped to engage opposite sides of the bow of the boat and hold it in suspended relation through interconnection with the suspension assembly relative to the trailer or boat support. A biasing element is connected to the suspension assembly to bias the cradle away from the boat support when the boat is positioned thereon. An orienting assembly is disposed on or adjacent the cradle to engage the leading edge of the bow and orient the boat into locking engagement with a connecting element. The connecting element is disposed in predetermined relation to an eye bolt or other type of connecting element attached to the boat such that engagement of the boat onto the cradle and movable engagement of its leading edge with the orienting assembly automatically serves to position the eye bolt or predetermined portion of the boat in locking engageable relation with the connecting element.
