Any one got one? The drive-on ones look cool.

There is one in my local harbour -Burry Port - and if it will survive the swell there it will survive anywhere - most impressive.

It had a big American style wakeboarding boat on it - prob about 25' - now there is a small RIB - about 5.5m that looks quite lost.

Love it, I was toying with the idea of building one from aluminium angle and some plastic barrels!
Regards

I have a jetski on one they are very popular and easy to get on and off. There are a few boats on them at my local marina but look a bit of a mission to get on and off, they use winches...
Loads of pics here

I think the winch is just to pull you off the first bit until the prop has some bite. No reason why you cant drive on

There is one in Salcombe on a swing mooring with a wooden sailing dinghy on it & they use a winch to get it on & off!

Is Nautibouy (used to post on here a lot - but much quieter these days) still the UK distributor?
I like the milk crates... thats a Funyak Sparfel/390 moored alongside it the same as mine (without centre console)... practical rather than necessarily aesthetically pleasing - a bit like the milk crates.

Perhaps worth having a look at www.aqua-dock.co.uk before parting with any cash. They're made in the UK, slightly different design, available from stock and at a significantly lower cost.......
