ABSTRACT:
A water vessel having a pair of spaced, parallel pontoons connected by a deck on which there is fixedly supported a land traversing vehicle such as a motorcycle or a snowmobile. The water vessel includes at least one propeller operatively coupled to the power output drive of the land traversing vehicle, such that the propeller is rotated when the land traversing vehicle is operated. The water vessel further comprises a steering coupling mechanism which operatively couples the steering mechanism of the land traversing vehicle to at least one rudder carried by the water vessel such that the rudder is responsive to control the direction of the water vessel in response to the movement of the steering mechanism of the land traversing vehicle. The water vessel also comprises a rotatably mounted shaft having L-shaped outer ends extending beyond the outer portion of each pontoon. The outer ends of the shaft rotatably mount support wheels adapted to swing between a lowered position, wherein the support wheels extend below the pontoons to enable the wheels to engage the ground and permit towing of the water vessel, and a raised position wherein the support wheels may be raised above the water level so as not to impede the operation of the water vessel when it is underway. Means are provided for selectively locking the support wheels in either the raised or lowered position.
