Convertible boat

Abstract

A boat convertible from a single hull structure (like a kayak or canoe) to a dual hull structure (like a catamaran). The boat having a first hull, a second hull, and a spacer. The first hull and the second hull able to innerfit together to form the single hull. The first hull and the second hull able to, through use of the spacer, be rigidly spaced apart thereby forming the dual hull structure.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A boat convertible from a single hull structure to a dual spaced hull structure, said boat comprising: 
 a first hull;    a second hull; and    at least one spacer able to space said first hull from said second hull thereby forming said dual spaced hull structure;    wherein said spacer can be removed and said first hull and said second hull can be connected together to form said single hull structure.    
     
     
         2 . The boat of  claim 1  wherein said first hull comprises at least one connection means for connecting said first hull to said second hull.  
     
     
         3 . The boat of  claim 1  wherein said second hull comprises at least one connection means for connecting said second hull to said first hull.  
     
     
         4 . The boat of  claim 1  wherein said first hull comprises at least one first connection means for connecting said first hull to said second hull and wherein said second hull comprises at least one second connection means for connecting said second hull to said first hull.  
     
     
         5 . The boat of  claim 4  wherein said first connection means and said second connection means connect with one another.  
     
     
         6 . The boat of  claim 4  wherein said first connection means comprises a first length of pipe extending from said first hull, wherein said second connection means comprises a second length of pipe extending from said second hull, wherein said second connection means pipe is able to be received into said first connection means pipe.  
     
     
         7 . The boat of  claim 4  wherein said spacer comprises a length of tubing able to connect between said first connection means and said second connection means.  
     
     
         8 . A boat convertible from a single hull structure to a dual spaced hull structure, said boat comprising: 
 a first hull, said first hull comprising at least one first connection means for connecting said first hull to said second hull;    a second hull, said second hull comprising at least one second connection means for connecting said second hull to said first hull; and    at least one spacer able to space said first hull from said second hull thereby forming said dual spaced hull structure;    wherein said spacer can be removed and said first hull and said second hull can be connected together to form said single hull structure.    
     
     
         9 . The boat of  claim 8  wherein said first connection means and said second connection means connect with one another.  
     
     
         10 . The boat of  claim 8  wherein said first connection means comprises a first length of pipe extending from said first hull, wherein said second connection means comprises a second length of pipe extending from said second hull, wherein said second connection means pipe is able to be received into said first connection means pipe.  
     
     
         11 . The boat of  claim 8  wherein said spacer comprises a length of tubing able to connect between said first connection means and said second connection means.  
     
     
         12 . A boat convertible from a single hull structure to a dual spaced hull structure, said boat comprising: 
 a first hull, said first hull comprising at least one first connection means for connecting said first hull to said second hull;    a second hull, said second hull comprising at least one second connection means for connecting said second hull to said first hull; and    at least one spacer able to space said first hull from said second hull thereby forming said dual spaced hull structure, said spacer comprising a length of tubing able to connect between said first connection means and said second connection means;    wherein said spacer can be removed and said first hull and said second hull can be connected together to form said single hull structure.    
     
     
         13 . The boat of  claim 12  wherein said first connection means comprises a first length of pipe extending from said first hull, wherein said second connection means comprises a second length of pipe extending from said second hull, wherein said second connection means pipe is able to be received into said first connection means pipe.
