An inflatable shallow draft fishing boat having a removable, inflatable paddleboard floor that provides stable flotation for at least two standing adults, the boat also including an adjustable, detachable rowing frame. The boat can be maneuvered and propelled by oars, a push pole or a small motor. A detachable rowing frame allows the rower to switch his rowing position from facing the stern (for best speed) or face the bow (for better visibility when searching for fish). The paddleboard floor may be held in place by frictional engagement when the boat and the paddleboard are inflated; alternatively, the paddleboard may be removed and function independently as a stand-up paddleboard that can be used for fishing, swimming, or similar recreational water sports. The transom may be shortened for navigating rocky rivers, and measurement markings may be included on the outer side for measuring fish while the fish remain in the water. |

a port side and a starboard side, each having a first end and a second end, connected together at said first ends to form a bow; a transom having a port end and starboard end; the second end of said port side and the second end of said starboard side being connected to opposed ends of said transom, forming a stern; a bottom member attached in a water tight manner to the port and starboard sides of said boat and extending from said bow to said stern, forming a substantially watertight bottom; and an inflatable paddleboard that may be removably positioned on top of said bottom member, whereby said paddleboard is capable of being removed and used independently as a paddleboard. |
