Abstract: A fold-away transport platform that is attached to a stern portion of a boat and that is used for carrying sizeable items. The platform (24) consists of a pair of side supports (28), each having a first end and a second end. A plurality of cross members (38) are disposed between the side supports which form the platform, that when extended, is cantilevered outward away from the stern of the boat. Pivoting hinge brackets (42) are attached onto the side support first end and the boat stern inside a transom (26b). At least two diagonal braces (52) are removably fastened to the boat on a lower end and to a cross member such that the braces (52) may be detached and the platform pivoted into the boat for transportation and storage. A second embodiment attaches the platform to the boat stern rail instead of the inner surface of the transom.
