Is there a boat lift or boat crane that can lift the boat from the boat trailer to the water, and from the water back to the trailer?Basically a substitute for a boat ramp.
Thank you capt terry.Is there a link or other information l can search regarding the forklift?

Yes it is an oversized forklift with long forks,It can come up from behind the boat and lift it right off,Many of the marinas here on the coast use them

Most marinas have two kinds of lifts to do what you're talking about. One is the forklift mentioned above the other is a straddle buggy that straddles the boat and picks it up on slings and then moves out on tracks over the water and lowers the boat into the water. This one is usually used for large boats and yachts.

If you are talking about something you can use yourself, probably not. The lift probably costs more than the boat.

Yes, depending on the size to the boat, there are two types of crane that are routinely used. The most common is the jib-boom. It is basically a post that pivots with a boom at the top, that is long enough to swing the bout over the water. The other is a ''stiff-leg'' A frame. It is like a fixed crane with the ability to pick up the boat and move it on the same plane over the water. These are common a sailing marinas. l hope this helps.
