ABSTRACT:
A boat loader including a boom and an elongate traverse arm pivotally connected to the boom. A dolly bar carried on and for movement along the length of the traverse arm includes means for attachment to a boat. According to a preferred embodiment, a U-shaped boom is pivotally connected by the legs of the U to the rear bumper of a vehicle such as a camper or trailer. The length of the legs is slightly greater than the distance from the bumper to the top of the vehicle. The traverse arm is pivotally connected to the boom base midway between the legs and a spring is connected between the boom and traverse arm to normally maintain the traverse arm as a somewhat parallel extension of the traverse arm but which yields to permit pivoting of the traverse arm. With the boom lowered to a ground level position, the dolly bar positioned near the boom and fixedly attached across a boat (preferably near the boat longitudinal center of gravity), upon raising the boom to an elevated position and pivoting the traverse arm to a horizontal position, to likewise pivot the boat attached to the traverse arm by the dolly bar), the dolly bar may be caused to traverse along and to near the end of the traverse arm to position the boat over the vehicle. A forward carrier is provided which accepts the end of the traverse arm to hold down and secure the traverse arm for transit.
