"Fold-Up Boat" Fits In Pickup

"Fold-Up Boat" Fits In Pickup PICKUPS Miscellaneous 21-5-39 "My 12-ft. plastic fold-up boat folds up like a suitcase so you can haul it in the back of a pickup, van, or sports utility vehicle without the need for a trailer," says inventor Jim Spickelmire of Grangeville, Idaho. The 3-passenger, flat bottom boat measures 12 ft. long, 4 ft. wide, and 15 in. high and is hinged in the middle so it folds down to 6 ft. long and 30 in. high. It weighs 200 lbs. To use the boat you simply unfold it and place a seat over the hinge, using three sliding, lock action bolts to keep the hinge rigid. "To fold up the boat you simply pull out the three locking bolts and fold the seat back into one half of the boat, then fold the other half over and shut two latches," says Spickelmire.
