Abstract: A watercraft flotation device with an inflatable vessel and a strap system to selectively secure the inflatable vessel to the watercraft can provide sufficient buoyancy to raise the watercraft hull out of water. The strap system can limit movement of the inflatable vessel fore and aft relative to the watercraft hull. The flotation device can include a forward inflatable vessel and an aft inflatable vessel. The inflatable vessels are, in some embodiments, generally tubular and have inflation valves positioned near one end. The inflation valve can be coupled to an inflation pump such that air can be pumped into the inflatable vessel(s) to raise the watercraft hull. A system including multiple inflatable vessels and an inflation pump can be stored portably for transportation with the watercraft.
