ABSTRACT:
A personal marine craft for transporting an individual user across the surface of a body of water. An inflatable buoyancy membrane having independent air chambers, including side buoyancy chambers and a forward bumper chamber is attached to and extends along the sides and about the bow of a central rigid hull. An upper exposed deck of the rigid hull, which is structured and disposed to accommodate the user thereon, hingedly lifts open to provide access to a water-tight engine compartment containing a drive unit, including an engine, fuel tank, battery and air pump for inflating the air chambers. A seat and a steering handle post ar hingedly attached to the rigid hull and are each independently movable between a raised, operable position and a collapsed, stowed position. A lifting handle on the bow and retractable wheels on the transom of the rigid hull facilitate portability on land.
