Not exactly sure what forums to have this in but figure this one gets the most traffic. I'm currently re-habbing my 24 foot pontoon and while Im at it I'm going to make it so I can haul 2 standups on it as well. To keep the weight even and balanced, they will be stored right up the center one in front of the other. The main idea with having them on board is to be able to tow the boat to the water and then launch and re-board the skis onto the boat while in the water. What I'm looking for some ideas with how exactly to have the skis get to and from the boat on the water. Those small cranes that mount are nose aren't going to work, this needs to be feasible with one person and also if there are any waves it just would never work smoothly.
This is what I'm thinking so far. Let me know what you guys think.
Do a short removable ramp (4-5 feet) that floats at the end (buoyancy of around 100lbs). Have it on a hinge so it can flex with waves and then have 3" PVC as runners on it while having a winch on the deck to pull the ski's in.
