ABSTRACT:
The apparatus includes a truck body having a forward cab section and a rear bed section, the bed section adapted to further provide a plurality of horizontal members, comprising a truck bed, the members positioned atop a rear axle for defining a bed portion for accommodating a boat thereupon. There is further included a rear section of the bed portion hingedly engaged to the rear portion of the frame which is movable from a horizontal position to form the rear portion of the bed to a position so that the rearward most end of the bed moves downward to a position adjacent the ground for slidingly accommodating a boat thereupon. There is further included a winch adjacent the rear portion of the truck cab, the winch including an extendable line attachable to the front portion of the boat so that as the line is winched in, the boat is pulled up the rear ramp member and is slid to a position on the bed portion of the truck. Upon the boat being pulled in the resting position on the bed, the rearward most ramp portion is returned to the complete horizontal position by the weight of the boat, and is locked in place for transport of the boat.
