A warehousing and dry storage system and apparatus are directed to powerboats and yachts from about (30) to (80) feet in length. The basic units of the apparatus comprise at least one horizontally and vertically movable prime mover and a plurality of wheeled cradles or storage frames of very robust construction. The prime mover has a horizontal railed portion upon which rides a tow frame. The tow frame, in turn, is driven by a cable or chain to a reversible electric gear motor for movement of a cradle. The prime mover aligns with heavy structural horizontal frame members of the warehouse. These frame members serve as rails in supporting the wheeled cradles. The wheeled cradles are equipped with boat pads for direct supporting contact with a boat hull. Power yachts, each weighing many tons, can easily be supported in a stacked configuration in racks in an enclosed warehouse with the configuration of the invention.
