Abstract
Abstract In a fishing float motor support, a framework reinforced polygonal-shaped generally horizontal buoyant body is provided with an arcuate recess nesting a peripheral portion of a conventional fishing float. Means on the body secures it to and maintains it in the plane of the fishing float. An upstanding transom, connected with body reinforcing framework, supports an outboard motor. Upwardly open sockets, formed in the body, support fishing equipment and a battery to provide electrical energy for the motor.
