Due to the height of motor homes, trailers, vans, campers and the like, it is difficult to raise a boat such as a car-top type boat, to a position whereby it can be placed on the roof of the vehicle for transportation, and several winch systems have been devised to facilitate this. However, they are usually custom-built and suitable for one type of vehicle only and in any event, it is often difficult to secure the boat to the elevation device particularly if the boat is relatively heavy. The present device is securable to the frame of the vehicle and is fully adjustable as to size. It includes a hinged boat platform, which can be held level with the top of the boat for ease in securing the boat thereof to the platform by the gunwales of the boat, and includes means to secure the outboard motor also. Winch means are provided to elevate the attached boat onto the top of the vehicle and to lower same to the ground when it is desired to unload the boat from the vehicle.
