ABSTRACT:
A number of embodiments of towing and towed watercrafts with particular emphasis on the construction and operation of the towed watercraft. The towed watercraft is formed with a hull that is configured to accommodate the water flow from a jet propulsion unit driving the towing watercraft so as to reduce resistance and improve the flow resistance of the towed watercraft. The towed watercraft has its seat disposed below the seat of the towing watercraft so an operator on the towing watercraft will not have his rearward vision impaired. A wide variety of traction devices are disclosed, each having a rigid tow bar and an arrangement for precluding pivotal movement of the towed watercraft relative to the towing watercraft upon deceleration of the towing watercraft. Arrangements are also disclosed wherein an outboard motor may be positioned in a container of the towed watercraft for auxiliary power of the towed watercraft.
