Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved boat protection device. The boat protection device includes a pair of plates that are pivotally attached together. The boat protection device plates may have attached thereto a plurality of attachment lines which facilitate securing the boat protection device to the underside of a boat. Each plate has a plurality of wedges on the bottom surface thereof. The wedges are designed to engage a ground surface, thereby configuring the plates in a V-shape to cradle and support a boat on a ground surface or in shallow water. The plates may also have a protective covering thereon to further protect the underside of the beached or moored boat.
