High-Performance Watercraft

Abstract

A quick connect system for a boat connects the deck of the boat to the hull of the boat. The deck sits on top of the hull. The hull is preferably inflatable, and preferably in two opposing, symmetrical hull sections being a left hull and a right hull. Each hull preferably has two parallel inflatable tubes that extend from the rear of the hull to the front. The deck is preferably a multi-piece system having a spaced apart front deck rear deck. An elevated casting platform extends between the deck sections and is supported by legs. The hull and deck have a series of aligned rigid tube receivers and loops that receive a series of rails. The rails are slideable into the loops and rigid tube receivers to secure the deck to the keel, and to provide a quick mechanism to disassemble the deck from the tubes.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A watercraft having a quick connect system for attaching a watercraft hull to a deck of the watercraft, said quick connect system comprising:
 a series of loops attached to a top surface of said watercraft hull;   a plurality of rigid tube receivers attached to the deck, wherein said series of loops and said series of rigid tube receivers are aligned when said boat deck is positioned on said boat hull; and   a plurality of elongate rails extending through the aligned rigid tube receivers and loops to connect said boat deck to said boat hull, wherein said plurality of elongate rails are configured to slide out of said rigid tube receivers and loops to release said boat deck from said boat hull.   
     
     
         2 . The watercraft of  claim 1  wherein said boat hull comprises an inflatable hull. 
     
     
         3 . The watercraft of  claim 2  wherein said boat hull comprises a left hull and a right hull positioned in a spaced apart and parallel orientation, wherein said left hull and said right hull are symmetrical. 
     
     
         4 . The watercraft of  claim 3  wherein said left hull and said right hull each comprises two attached parallel elongate inflatable tubes, wherein each of said left hull and said right hull comprises a keel attached to a bottom side of each hull. 
     
     
         5 . The watercraft of  claim 4  wherein said keel is inflatable. 
     
     
         6 . The watercraft of  claim 1  wherein said boat deck comprises two spaced apart deck sections, wherein each of said deck sections is connected to said hull by said rails, wherein an elevated casting platform extends between said deck sections. 
     
     
         7 . The watercraft of  claim 1  wherein said boat hull comprises a left hull and a right hull, wherein said left hull and right hull are symmetrical and are positioned in parallel. 
     
     
         8 . The watercraft of  claim 6 , wherein said elevated casting platform comprises a series of posts extending from a bottom face of said casting platform, wherein said deck sections comprises a series of anchors for receiving said posts to attach said elevated casting platform to said deck sections. 
     
     
         9 . The quick connect system of  claim 1  wherein said deck comprises an elevated seat. 
     
     
         10 . The quick connect system of  claim 1  wherein said deck comprises a motor mount. 
     
     
         11 . The quick connect system of  claim 1  wherein said deck comprises a grasping handle. 
     
     
         12 . The quick connect system of  claim 1  wherein said hull comprises a series of inflatable tubes. 
     
     
         13 . A deck system for a boat, said deck system being configured for removable attachment to a hull, said deck system comprising:
 A forward platform and a rear platform, said forward platform and rear platform each comprising a planar shape and being is a spaced apart relationship;   A raised casting platform, said casting platform extending above and between said forward platform and said rear platform, said casting platform having a front leg supporting said casting platform and attached to said front platform, and a rear leg supporting said casting platform and removably attached to said rear platform.
