ABSTRACT:
A recreational and therapeutic propelled pontoon chair. The invention fundamentally comprises a pair of pontoons in fixed spaced relationship with each other. A chair for maintaining a user is positioned between the pontoons with a drive and power source being maintained behind the chair. A control box for controlling the propulsion speed of the pontoon chair is provided at one of the user's hands while a friction locking rudder mechanism is provided at the other. The user achieves the physical benefit of water movement across his lower extremities while obtaining the psychological benefit of actually controlling a physical apparatus.
