I saw this on sale yesterday for $59. A remote control electric winch with a 2000 pound capacity.

I'm thinking if you take two 2 x 4 boards and plant them in the mud in front of and under the boat to make a ramp to guide it up to the docks and then mount this winch on a board that could be braced against something solid and mobile and hook it to the boat and press a button. Heck, you might even be able to get away with just using a chair or ladder and just use your own weight to anchor it and then brace this winch across the open part of the chair or ladder and then press a button and watch the boat come to you. Could it be that simple?

Harbor Freight is having a tool sale this weekend. If this gets marked down again, I think I just might have to buy it.

You will need 12 volt battery of course.
