ABSTRACT:
A pair of generally cylindrical inflatable bodies are provided for transverse disposition beneath the bow and stern bottom portions of a boat equipped with a transom drain opening and internal flotation. Straps are attached to the ends of the inflatable bodies and extend upwardly along the corresponding sides of the boat and across the upper surfaces thereof and are joined together in order to strap the inflatable bodies in position beneath the bow and stern bottom portions of the boat. The bodies may be inflated after being secured in position in order to buoy the boat to an elevated position above its normal floating position and the transom drain opening may be thereafter opened to allow any rain water or wave spray entering the boat to automatically drain therefrom through the transom drain opening.
