ABSTRACT:
A portable watercraft having an improved cross-arm to pontoon connection is shown. The pontoon includes an attachment pad with a handle provided thereon which serves as the male portion of the connection. A cross-arm, with a downwardly curved free end, includes an aperture therein to serve as the female portion of the connection. A strap is connected to the cross-arm and routed through a strap aperture for routing through the handle and back through the strap aperture for securement to the cross-arm by a fastener. As a result, a cross-arm may be quickly and easily releasably secured to a pontoon to permit fast assembly and disassembly for ease of transport.
