ABSTRACT:
A pedal boat which distinctively includes a pedal propulsion unit which is removable to dispose of any downward projection at the bottom of the boat shell and thus allows taking the boat in very shallow water and ashore, like a conventional row-boat. Removal of the pedal propulsion unit also allows conversion of the pedal-boat to a row-boat. This pedal-boat includes a boat shell with an aperture in the bottom, a closed perimeter wall upstanding from the bottom in sealed engagement therewith, in circumscribing relationship with the aperture through the bottom, and laterally confining a well space inside the boat shell, and a pedal propulsion unit removably mountable in the well space and including a watertight enclosure fitting in the well space, pedals projecting from opposite sides of the enclosure, a saddle projecting upwardly from the latter, and an impeller and a rudder projecting downwardly below the bottom of the boat through the aperture in the latter.
