<p>A collapsible boat having a pair of side panels and a pair of bottom panels with contiguous edges of adjacent side and bottom panels being hingedly coupled together so that the panels can move from collapsed positions in which they are in side-by-side relationship to expanded positions in which they form the boat with an open rear end. A transom panel is removably mounted on the boat in closing relationship to the open rear end of the boat. Mounting of the transom panel can be accomplished by the use of channel members which receive the side margins of the transom panel. A flexible sealing sheet of plastic or other water impervious material is provided to seal the open rear end of the boat. Thus, there will be no leakage of water into the boat, and the boat will be water-tight, notwithstanding the removability of the transom panel from the boat. The transom panel, when so mounted, can be used to mount an outboard motor on the boat. An improved carriage allows the boat, when expanded and having an outboard motor, to be easily moved over land, yet the carriage is simple and rugged in construction, is in expensive to produce, and can be quickly and easily removed from the boat.</p> |
