ABSTRACT:
A boat construction comprising separate forward and rear sections. A rear wall of the forward section is pivotally connected to the forward wall of the rear section at a location adjacent the top end of such walls. An extension of the side walls of one of the boat sections snugly engages the adjacent side walls of the other boat section when they are pivoted to form a boat configuration. The two sections are pivoted to overlie each other for insertion of the boat inside of a station wagon-like car or in the back of a truck. The forward and rear sections are rigidly interconnected and significantly braced against the forces of wave action by the provision of transversely aligned apertures in the longitudinally extending flanges and the side walls of the boat section engaged by the longitudinally extending flanges. A transverse tube has its ends sealably secured in the side wall apertures to prevent entry of water into the particular boat section and a rigid rod traverses the apertures in the longitudinally extending flanges and the bore of the side wall to provide a rigid interconnection of the forward and rear sections in their boat configuration.
