Abstract:

An amphibious utility cart aids an outdoorsman in transporting equipment from home to a hunting site, and may further provide seating. The apparatus comprises framing to which a molded plastic platform is attached. The entire unit is designed to be rolled on land with wheels and to float on water with the buoyant seat platform. The platform, in a lounge chair design, is used as an equipment tote platform while going to a destination, and then as a chair for an outdoorsman or his dog when at the destination. The chair is designed for maximum floatation for water crossings and shallow-water seating. The two wheels provide the rear seating base and two retractable poles extend downward to provide frontal leg braces for a stable seating base. A handle is extended for the cart for either land or water transportation, and slides into the metal frame while in the chair mode.
