ABSTRACT:
A raft for wheelchairs includes a pair of elongated floatable pontoons which are fixed in spaced apart parallel relationship by forward and rearward cross-members. A pair of channel members are mounted between the cross-members, in spaced apart parallel relationship, a distance to receive the wheels of a wheelchair thereon. Preferably, the channel members are oriented parallel to the pontoons, and a pair of ramps are removably connected to one end of the channel members to permit a wheelchair to roll up and on to the raft, as well as exit off the opposite end of the raft. A receiving bracket is mounted to a forward end of the raft and a second receiving bracket is mounted on the rearward end of the raft, to removably receive a motor for powering the raft.
