The novel bladder systems and tie down systems set forth herein provide systems and apparatuses that mitigate or prevent damage, such as tipping over/capsizing, of a watercraft stored on shore or an aircraft secured to a ground surface during adverse wind, rising water, or storm events. Further, novel apparatuses and methods for storing a watercraft using the bladders as cushioning or holding devices when installed within a cavity, whether the cavity is created by digging a hole or building an enclosing berm, provides additional stability and security for the watercraft during adverse wind, rising water, or storm events.

A method comprising scanning at least one portion a hull of a vessel positioned below a waterline while the vessel is floating in water. The method further comprises generating multi-dimensional scans of the at least one portion of the hull based on data acquired during the scanning, generating a 3-dimensional (3D) model of the at least one portion of the hull, analyzing the 3D model to identify one or more features of the hull of the vessel below the waterline, generating docking information for drydocking the vessel based on the one or more features of the hull, and identifying, based on the generated docking information, a docking plan for supporting the vessel when the vessel is supported out of the water. The method further comprises outputting instructions to dry dock the vessel.

A boat support assembly includes a main frame a first connecting strap which is flexible and deformable. A first support is pivotably connected to the main frame. A second support is pivotably connected to the main frame. Pivotal movement between the second support and the main frame is independent from pivotal movement between the first support and the main frame. The first connecting strap is connected to the first support and the second support.

A support structure for supporting a vessel. The support structure includes a pair of support blocks mounted one on top of the other with a reconfigurable intermediate operating layer in between. The intermediate operating layer can be operable to adjust a separation between the support blocks, permit relative lateral movement between the support blocks and act as a load bearing structure.
