  • Patent number: 5520133
    Abstract: A motorcycle like configured watercraft that employs a hull member to receive an engine and water jet nozzle means to propel the craft and the craft includes a seat area for a rider and steering means to control the direction of the craft. In addition, the craft includes a separate front ski member that has a water ballast chamber that may be connected to the steering means, and a pair of side skirts secured to the hull that contains water ballast chambers. The water ballast chambers designed to be capable of becoming quickly flooded when the craft is at rest to partially submerge the craft for ease of entry of the rider and means to cause rapid evacuation of the water in the chambers as the craft increases speed to raise the craft without restriction to its running and planing position.

The fairing presents a streamlined rounded surface to the front of the bicycle and a relatively large concave enclosure to the rear, to cover the upper portions of the bicycle and rider as viewed from the front. An integral fender substantially increases the size of the enclosure, arcuate trailing edges facilitate positioning of the rider's head and hands behind the fairing, and transparent windows may be included for forward and downward visibility.
