ABSTRACT:
A portable boat dock and ramp, whose overall length is adjustable telescopically, one end of which connects to a swim step of a water skiing boat or other boat equipped with a swim step and the other end of which is anchored to a shoreline, thereby providing a secure mooring of said boat to said shoreline as well as providing a bridge between said shoreline and said boat for ingress and egress of people, equipment and supplies. One section of said boat dock fits slidably inside the other section for transport and storage. In use, an inside ramp section slidably projects or telescopes-out of the outside ramp section to create a ramp whose overall length can be up to almost twice the length of a single ramp section. A cushioned, "U" shaped channel, which connects to the swim step of a boat, is fixed at one end of said dock. A polystyrene foam board is installed inside said inside ramp section to provide adequate buoyancy for floatation when a boat is not moored to said dock. Tie down accessories are securely stored inside said inner boat dock section during transportation or storage.
