ABSTRACT:
The invention described and disclosed herein is a dry dock for boats which consists of a frame, formed supports for the boat hull, guides used in docking and lateral support for the docked boat, air bladders to provide flotation, air control valves with an air-line system, and guides to restrain the dry dock to a stall in a marina. The dry dock provides a dry stowage of the boat, which is free from ice damage during the winter season and a means of effecting hull and propeller maintenance without beaching the vehicle or using heavy-duty facilities.
