Abstract:
A recreational vessel for carrying a plurality of passengers capable of movement on land and in water. The recreational vessel includes an upper section with passenger seating, and lower section having an engine, a transmission, a marine propulsion unit, and at least two sets of wheels joined by axles. The upper and lower sections are separated by a deck plate. The lower section forms a pod-free and watertight hull which is designed to maximize both the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic efficiency of the vessel. Located between the deck plate and the inner bottom surface of the hull is an engine, which is centered within the hull and is coupled to a transfer case. The transfer case is coupled to a first drive shaft and to a second drive shaft. The first drive shaft is connected to two axles to effect the rotation of the two axles. The second drive shaft is connected to and drives the marine propulsion unit. The vehicle further is equipped with a spring-loaded ladder.
