A parallelgram arrangement of linkages interconnect a stern ramp frame with a
plurality
of parallel rails vertically adjusted to positions above the ramp frame by actuators
for reception and maintenance of a watercraft thereon with minimized vibration,
further reduced by shock-absorbing springs positioned in engagement with the rails
and the rail actuators. Rail positioning adjustment by the actuators is effected
under computer control to match different hull shapes of the watercraft that are
curved or v-shaped and therefore non-flat.
