The present invention relates to small watercrafts, and more particularly towatercrafts that are powered, in part at least, by electric trolling motors.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Small boats that employ electric trolling motors are known and are typically used on lakes and ponds for recreation and fishing. They are popular for a number of reasons. They are relatively small, lightweight, easy to handle and maneuver andcan be enjoyed by adults and children alike.
However, many trolling motor boats of this type do not integrate the trolling motors into the hull of the boat. Instead, trolling motors are attached to an exterior portion of the boat and because of that the trolling motors appear to be, andoften are, add-ons. This means that the trolling motors may hang from the side of the boat and impair the boat's ability to be maneuvered through close quarters. Further, if the boat is transported from one lake to another, the trolling motors may haveto be removed and replaced. In addition, security may be an issue if the boat with the trolling motors mounted thereon is left unattended.
Therefore, there has been and continues to be a need for a small, recreational boat that utilizes electric trolling motors where the trolling motors are integrated into the hull of the boat.
SUMMARY
The present invention relates to a small boat or watercraft that is powered by two electric trolling motors integrated into the hull of the boat.
In one particular embodiment of the present invention, the boat hull is provided with a pair of spaced apart elongated cavities that are formed in the bottom of the boat hull. Disposed in each of these cavities is an electric trolling motor thatis controlled from an upper deck area of the boat.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and obvious from a study of the following description and the accompanying drawings which are merely illustrative of such invention.
