Abstract: A storage system has a relatively unobtrusive mounting plate which is permanently secured to the edge of a vessel's swim platform and removably receives and captively holds a roller assembly. The mounting plate comprises a generally planar rectangular plate configured to conform to the edge shape of the swim platform and includes a generally U-shaped channel extending around the periphery and open at the top to receive the roller assembly. The roller assembly includes a generally rectangular roller supporting plate shaped to fit within the channel of the mounting plate and be captively held therein and a pair of spaced mounting bosses between which there is mounted a roller which extends above the surface of the swim platform for assisting in the loading and unloading of a personal watercraft onto the swim platform. Locking pins extend between the roller plate and the mounting plate for locking the roller assembly in position for use.

Abstract: A personal watercraft storage system for use in a boat includes a winch support stand which cooperates with one or more roller brackets for drawing the personal watercraft onto or off of a support surface. Preferably, brackets are mounted on the port and starboard edges of the swim platform and the winch support stand can be quickly and easily positioned on either of the brackets depending upon the desired position of the personal watercraft. A winch provided on the support stand provides the mechanical advantage needed to move the personal watercraft.

Abstract: A boat having a swim platform assembly mounted thereto is disclosed. The assembly has a top member and a bottom member assembled in a clam-shell manner. The interior of the swim platform assembly is hollow and preferably has a watertight seal. Preferably, a pair of projections are formed at the outboard corners of the swim platform which are received in complementary recesses formed in the stern of the boat hull. In addition, the aft portion of the bottom member is substantially planar and the bottom member is convex. The combination of the convex bottom member, interlocking projections and interlocking recesses results in a swim platform having enhanced strength, stability and buoyancy.

Abstract: A portable camera bracket is disclosed which provides a stable platform for a camera in window openings. The camera bracket includes four legs and a platform which are easily assemble and disassembled for transporting and includes protective material for contacting the perimeter of the window openings.
