Matty, is this a one thime deal or do you want to lift it every day?

You could build a cradle and drive it on at high tide and wait six hours..... or

Build the cradle with 55 gal poly drums hooked to a air manifol and pressureize them with a compresser to raise the whole rig like out of the water.

or build a dry dock and drive it in and pump the water out. Yea that would naturally be the cheapest way out.

How may tons is your vessel?

Rig a fore & Aft Cradle strap between the two docks wieghted down in the middle so it sinks and connected to two hand winchs. Then just crank it up out of the water. Take two people singing old slave songs to syncopate the ordeal so the boat does not slide off. Cadance Dude.

When in the water it only wieghs 1/3rd of 1,900Lbs
so it should be easy enough to lift with two 1,000 lb winchs.
That should cost about $100 bucks at Wal Mart. and make your insurance brokers smile.
