ABSTRACT:
A trailable pontoon system that may be pulled behind a road vehicle and that may facilitate the launch of said road vehicle to effect a waterborne configuration comprised of the pontoon system and the vehicle. The trailable pontoons are capable of being unfolded by means of a rotating winch bar and are capable of separation to permit the vehicle to enter between the pontoons and be lifted into a mounted configuration upon the pontoons utilizing aforesaid winch bar. The launch and retrieval procedures utilize a combination of the pontoon's floatation capability, the vehicle's structural integrity, drive train and braking system and the facilitative function of the rotating winch bar. The vehicle/pontoon configuration, when waterborne, is a hybrid of the vehicle's inherent structural integrity and the floatation capability of the pontoons.
