A recreational twin hulled boat with the hulls interconnected by hull spacing structure with the boat convertible between outboard motor drive and sail drive. The hull spacing structure is also the mount for an outboard motor when the boat is converted for outboard motor drive with the hull spacing structure also mounting a fuel tank, operator saddle and some of the steering mechanism that includes two steering cables connected to opposite ends of a bell crank gear driven from a gear interconnect with steering handlebars. The steering cables for the motor driven conversion extend back and around idler pulleys to ultimately idler pulleys on each hull and then to connection to a rudder transverse rod interconnecting the rudders at the rear of each hull. This steering system turns the rudders in unison around their pivotal mountings opposite to the turning direction of the steering handle bars with the outboard motor locked in place so as not to pivot but to only provide thrust. In the sail conversion a tiller and rod interconnect steering system is used connected to the rudders that still employ the rudder transverse rod interconnecting the rudders at the rear of each hull. Hull interconnect transverse rods have a mounting connection with mount pads on each hull that also serve as the mounting pads for the hull spacing structure in the outboard motor driven boat conversion.
