  • Patent number: 5051056
    Abstract: An apparatus for suspending and rotating a boat about its longitudinal axis in either direction, including a pair of movable and adjustable support frames having connecting arms which are designed to rotatably engage the support eyes (also known as ski tow eyes, wench eyes or mooring eyes) on the rear and front ends of the boat. The rear support frame includes a rotatable shaft upon which the rear end connecting arms are rigidly mounted so as to be capable of rotating the boat about its longitudinal axis. The rear support frame also includes a base frame with a pair of extensible legs which are adjustable to support and balance varying sizes of boats. Each support frame includes a hoist for causing vertical movement of the connecting arms which support the boat. The front end support frame is constructed so as to define a passageway therethrough to facilitate removal of the boat trailer upon which the boat rests, once the boat is hoisted therefrom.
