A drive-on dry dock (10) especially suited for a boat (12) longer than about thirty feet and weighing more than about seven thousand pounds. The dock (10) includes a platform (14), a guide (16), and a lift (18). The platform (14) includes an aft section (20), a forward section (22), and a hinge section (24) therebetween. The guide (16) defines a path for movement of the boat (12) from the aft section (20) to a rest position whereat the boat's bow engages and is supported by the forward section (22). The lift shifts the platform (14) between a first condition in which the aft section is only buoyant enough to support itself and so can be downwardly flexed form a ramp for the boat (12) and a second condition in which the aft section is sufficiently buoyant to lift the boat out of the water.
