my shoreline is natural. fairly steep with a hillside that will bury me and the house at some point I am sure. the tidelands are flat for a long ways. what do I want it to do.....
I want to be able to store boat most of the time out of the water. I figure on fishing from boat every few days at most. I have power so a winch system is in the realm of feasible. before winter I will want it to go under cover. the current cover structure is parallel to the shore and too short for the boat I want. and has a muddy bogish area between it and the house. the rope pulley system is on the other side of the house from the boat storage structure and seems to be communal with the neighbor. the property lines make me think there is little room for a new storage structure between the house and the line.... but maybe.

my thought is to build a rail toward the storage structure. hook the trailer to a winch and launch and retrieve with that trailer only. train wheels on it would be nice. jack up the structure spin and raise it so the boat fits under and mount a winch. easy peasy... yeah right!
what I could likely get away with would be a small floating dock that the boat can run up on to for the summer and take it to the launch 1/2 mile away at the beginning and end of every season. driving on the beach. but I am still looking to go big.
