ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a convenient and quick method of launching pontoons and further provides a launch vehicle and pontoons for use in said method. The method provides for positioning a tiltable platform, loaded with a stack of nested pontoons, on the bank of a waterway and for tilting the platform and releasing each pontoon separately in a sequence from the uppermost to the lowermost thereby causing the pontoons, in sequence, to slide downwardly of the tilted platform to clear the vehicle and land in the waterway.
