Abstract
An elongated support arm is provided and pivotally supported from an elevated portion of one marginal portion of a vehicle onto whose top a boat is to be placed. The support arm is pivoted to the vehicle for swaying movement of the arm about a horizontal axis generally parallelling the marginal portion of the vehicle from which it is supported between a lowered position with the free end of the arm inclined downwardly and outwardly for contact with the surface upon which the vehicle rests and a raised position with the free end of the arm swung upward to a position with the arm vertically disposed and the free end thereof generally aligned with the top of the vehicle onto which the associated boat is to be positioned. The elevated portion of the vehicle to which the support arm is pivotally attached is disposed at a height equal to at least one half the effective length of the support arm and the free end of the support arm includes mounting structure pivotally supported from the support arm and releasably anchorable to the upper marginal portion of a boat to be loaded on top of the vehicle.
