ABSTRACT:
A glass fiber open boat hull structure has a lower hull component having a gel-coated outer surface facing outwardly of the hull structure and an upper edge extending along the hull structure, and an upper component extending along and joined to the upper edge of the lower hull component and projecting upwardly. The upper component has a gel-coated inner surface facing inwardly of the hull structure. A sole component mounted on the lower hull component has an upwardly facing gel-coated surface and a peripheral edge portion joined to the lower hull component. An elongate floatation chamber extends along the upper component in a recess formed in an outer surface thereof, and retainer members spaced apart along and connected to the floatation collar and other retainer members spaced apart along and connected to the upper component have apertures extending therethrough. A flexible securement line threaded through the apertures retains the floatation collar in the recess in the upper component.
