ABSTRACT:
A protective cover for an elongated inflatable boat includes a flexible enclosure having a bottom wall of a size and shape to span the floor and underside of the inflatable main chamber of the boat. A top wall extends upwardly and interiorly from the bottom wall to define a peripheral pocket adapted to receive and be substantially filled by the boat main chamber. The top wall has a large elongated opening positioned for registration with the open topped passenger compartment of the boat to enable passenger ingress and egress from the boat. A towing system is secured to the top wall adjacent the front of the protective cover for attaching a tow rope to the covered boat such that towing forces are distributed by the flexible enclosure across a substantial surface area to minimize stress on the boat. Handles may be provided on the top wall adjacent the elongated top opening, or if the inflatable boat includes integral handles and oar locks, the fabric top wall may simply have openings positioned for registration with the boat handles and oar locks.
