ABSTRACT:
A boat lift that is collapsible into a plurality of segments for quick and convenient transportation and storage during the off-season. The boat lift comprises a frame and a boat-engaging carriage that is movable on the frame between an elevated position and a lowered position. The frame forms an inclined track upon which the carriage traverses and comprises two spaced siderails, and a front and rear brace member. The front brace member comprises two segments that are each pivotally attached to a respective siderail. The segments are selectively removable from one another to permit the segments to be folded back adjacent their respective siderails. The rear brace member is selectively removable from the siderails so that the frame member may be collapsed into three separate segments. The carriage is removable from the frame and may be collapsed in a similar manner.
