Pedal powered kayak

Abstract

A pedal-powered kayak, the present invention offers a more rounded keel and stem which operates in the water leaving no or little wake in the front or the rear of the boat. Since little water passes into the boat there no rough ride. The hull further provides a pair of fullers integrally formed on hull and extending along each side of the hull from said keel to said stem to provide a greater wetting surface for the hull as kayak moves over a body of water. The hull also provides a pair of strakes for lifting the hull as the kayak increases speed over the water.

1 . A pedal powered kayak, said pedaled powered kayak comprising, 
 a hull, said hull having a stem, a keel and a central body portion, said keel having a pointed end and a rounded body area with a blade for guiding said kayak, said stem having a bottom blade and    a drive assembly connected to a propeller for driving said kayak over a body of water.    
   
   
       2 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said hull further comprising a right side fuller and a left side fuller, said right side fuller integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stem said left side fuller integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stern, said fullers extending the wetting surface of said hull as said kayak moves over a body of water.  
   
   
       3 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said hull further comprising a right side stake and a left side stake, said right side stake integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stem said left side stake integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stem, said stakes causing a lifting of said hull as said kayak moves over a body of water.  
   
   
       4 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said kayak further comprising means for retracting said drive assembly.  
   
   
       5 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said kayak further comprising a retractable rudder assembly.  
   
   
       6 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said kayak further comprising a trunk, said trunk formed in said central body portion, said trunk housing said drive assembly in retracted position.  
   
   
       7 . A pedal powered kayak, said pedaled powered kayak comprising, 
 a hull, said hull having a stem, a keel and a central body portion, said keel having a substantially round body portion ending in a pointed tip and,    a retractable drive assembly connected to a propeller for driving said kayak over a body of water, said drive assembly positioned over said central body portion and extending through said bottom surface into and below said centrally formed concave recess.    
   
   
       8 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said hull further comprising a right side fuller and a left side fuller, said right side fuller integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stem said left side fuller integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stern, said fullers extending the wetting surface of said hull as said kayak moves over a body of water.  
   
   
       9 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said hull further comprising a right side stake and a left side stake, said right side stake integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stem said left side stake integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stern, said stakes causing a lifting of said hull as said kayak moves over a body of water.  
   
   
       10 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said kayak further comprising cable means for retracting said drive assembly.  
   
   
       11 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said kayak further comprising a retractable rudder assembly.  
   
   
       12 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 1 , said kayak further comprising a trunk, said trunk formed in said central body portion, said trunk housing said drive assembly in retracted position.  
   
   
       13 . A pedal powered kayak, said pedaled powered kayak comprising, 
 a hull, said hull having a stern, a keel and a central body portion, said keel having a substantially round body portion ending in a pointed tip and,    
   
   
       14 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 13 , said hull further comprising a right side fuller and a left side fuller, said right side fuller integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stem said left side fuller integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stem, said fullers extending the wetting surface of said hull as said kayak moves over a body of water.  
   
   
       15 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 13 , said hull further comprising a right side stake and a left side stake, said right side strake integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stern said left side stake integrally formed on said hull and extending along said hull from said keel to said stem, said stakes causing a lifting of said hull as said kayak moves over a body of water.  
   
   
       16 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 13 , said kayak further comprising cable means for retracting said drive assembly.  
   
   
       17 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 13 , said kayak further comprising a retractable rudder assembly.  
   
   
       18 . The pedal powered kayak as recited into  claim 13 , said kayak further comprising a trunk, said trunk formed in said central body portion, said trunk housing said drive assembly in retracted position.
