Abstract
Abstract A water toy including a float, which may be in the form of a boat, carrying one or more target members. The target members may be mounted on the boat deck and be rotatable or vibratable with respect to the float. A manually-operable pump means has an open end submersible in the water on which the float floats and a nozzle through which a stream of water is directed at the target members. The pump means may include a squeezable bulb between its submersible end and the nozzle, and one way valves may be included in the submersible end and the nozzle. The pump means is removably mountable on the float when not in use.
