ABSTRACT:
A lightweight transportable watercraft includes a pair of pontoons disposed in spaced side-by-side relation to one another, a stool straddling the pontoons and extending over the space between the pontoons, and a pair of separate mounting bracket assemblies each attached on one of the respective pontoons. The mounting bracket assemblies pivotablly mount the stool to the pontoons such that the pontoons can float on water and concurrently pivot relative to the stool and relative to one another. Also, the mounting bracket assemblies releasably attach the stool to the pontoons such that the stool can be assembled and disassembled respectively to and from the pontoons in order to respectively put the watercraft together for use on water and to take the watercraft apart for transport and storage. Each mounting bracket assembly includes a plurality of connectors releasably and pivotally coupling the stool to portions of the respective mounting assemblies such that the connectors can be inserted and withdrawn to assembly and disassemble the stool to and from the pontoons. The watercraft also has a stabilizing assembly releasably and pivotally attached to and extending between the mounting bracket assemblies on the pontoons for limiting the amount of pivotal movement of the pontoons relative to one another.
