A lightweight and portable pond boat (10). The boat includes a frame (14) designed to be flexible and readily disassembled. The frame (14) is supported on a pair of inflatable pontoons (12) and can be positioned along their length, without requiring deflation, to adjust the trim of the boat. A propulsion mechanism (18) is removably mounted to the frame and includes a set of pedals (70) which drive a propeller (84). The angle at which the propulsion mechanism is carried by the frame is also adjustable to vary the boat's draw requirements. The propulsion mechanism (18) includes a mechanism (88) that enables it to "kick up" when a submerged object is contacted, lessening damage to the propeller. A steering mechanism (20) and an adjustable seat (16) are also removably mounted to the frame (14). With all of its components being detachable, capable of being disassembled or deflated, the boat can be packed within a motor vehicle enhancing transportation and storage.
