I've just purchased a house on a lake in Western Mass, an I am building
my own dock. I'd like to install a "boat cradle" (not quite sure
of the proper name for these) - i.e. a structure with straps that
slide under the bow and stern of the boat, with a cranking mechanism
to pull the boat out of the water. My question is twofold:
1 - Does anyone know from whom these can be purchased?
2 - Alternatively, I was thinking of building my own. Does anyone
know where I can find plans for such a thing? The only part about
which I am uncertain is the mechanism to crank the boat out of the
water. I'm not sure how I would get equal tension on the four lines.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You are reffering to davits (sp). I am not sure where to buy them
but I am sure it depends on how big your boat is.

I may have found what you want. There
is an company that sells a boat lift powered by home water supply
pressure. It looks like trailer bunks on a frame. The lift capacity
is listed as 2,000 - 10,000 lbs.
