ABSTRACT:
A boat mooring station comprises frame members connected to define a mooring station frame. The mooring station frame is positioned above a waterline of a body of water and oriented generally parallel to the surface of the body of water. An extensible front leg is connected with the frame near a front end and a pair of back legs are connected with the frame near a back end. The back legs extend at least generally downward to stand on a bottom of the body of water and support the frame. The front leg extends to raise the mooring station front to a launch position for launching or receiving a boat and retracts to lower the mooring station front to a storage position for storing the boat. The mooring station includes a boat support connected with the frame to receive and support the boat. The boat engages the boat support and moves upon the boat support relative to the frame, preferably on rollers, whereby the boat is lifted from a floating position to the storage position upon the boat support and whereby the boat is lowered from the storage position to the floating position. The boat support has one part located near the back of the mooring station and has another part located between the one part and the front of the mooring station.
