Abstract
Abstract DISCLOSED HEREIN IS A COLLAPSIBLE BOAT WHICH INCLUDES A PAIR OF INFLATABLE PONTOONS CARRIED IN SLEEVES. EACH SLEEVE HAS AN UPPER FLEXIBLE PORTION AND A LOWER RIGID SHELL WHICH FORMS A PLANING SURFACE. THE SLEEVES ARE INTERCONNECTED BY A FLEXIBLE WEB, AND ARE MAINTAINED IN SPACED PARALLEL RELATION BY A FRAME ASSEMBLY WHICH IS NESTED BETWEEN AND SECURED TO THE PONTOONS. THE FRAME ASSEMBLY INCLUDES A BOW PLATE, FLOORBOARD AND TRANSOM ADAPTED TO CARRY AN OUTBOARD MOTOR. THE BOAT CAN BE DISASSEMBLED AND ARARANGED IN A COMPACT, NARROW GENERALLY CYLINDRICAL PACKAGE WITH THE RIGID SURFACES OF THE SLEEVES FORMING THE OUTER COVERS FOR THE PACKAGE.
