Abstract
A rigid inflatable boat which eliminates the hull-to-deck joint by mounting the deck part to the hull part of the boat with a box girder or inflatable bladder or the like provided along the longitudinal axis of the boat, the longitudinal side edges of the deck part being spaced from the longitudinal side edges of the hull part of the boat. The present invention further provides for the continuous attachment along line of inflatable structures as well as shrouds surrounding the inflatable structures to the rigid deck and the hull parts. The result is a modular vessel which is readily assembled and disassembled for shipping, warehousing, nesting storage, and replacement and/or repair of one or more modules. The present invention also provides a structure for a rigid inflatable vessel that provides buoyancy aft in the form of an inflatable or foam member mounted across the transom and further wherein the aft edge of the rigid hull portion of the boat is formed so as to channel the water away and thus break the water away at the back of the boat.
