  • Patent number: 4960356
    Abstract: An apparatus for loading, unloading and storing a jet propelled water vehicle comprising a first pair of tubes made of relatively smooth surfaced plastic plumbing pipe or the like, a second pair of tubes of similar construction which telescope within and extend from the first pair of tubes and devices to adjustably support and space the first pair of tubes on a truck bed, mini-van floor, trailer frame, elevated rack or the like. When the first pair of tubes are mounted in a pickup truck bed for example and the second pair of tubes are drawn out as an extension of the first pair of tubes, a jet propelled vehicle can be loaded directly from the water by applying the weight of the vehicle to bend the second pair of tubes and after a short jet burst propelling the vehicle along the tubes with the grooves in the hull of the vehicle engaging the tubes. In another mode the vehicle slides on the tubes onto a storage rack directly from the water or from the bed of a pickup truck or the like.
