ABSTRACT:
This invention primarily resides in two float wings of substantially triangular contoured construction conforming to the hull of the boat securely affixed to the exterior stern of a fishing boat above the water line. Float wings may be constructed of expanded plastic having high buoyancy qualities such as expanded polystyrene or polyurethane. Any plastic producing a closed cell, rigid foam may be utilized. For durability, the foam is preferably covered with a fabric such as nylon reinforced vinyl or other suitable, durable fabric. The wings are securely attached to the hull of the boat with the base of the triangular structure projecting substantially normal to the hull. Auxiliary floats may be attached interior of the hull adjacent the bow to aid flotation and stability should the boat be swamped.
