Abstract:

A device for carrying equipment in the rear of a boat adjacent to an outboard motor comprising a tubular frame of a rigid material, the frame having an upper rectangular component and a lower rectangular component, the rectangular components being disposed in spaced horizontal planes with parallel long sides and parallel short sides. The device further includes vertical posts coupling the corners of the upper and lower rectangular components and extending downwardly to form extensions terminating at the lower ends for being supported at the rear end of a boat. The device further includes two intermediate posts extending vertically at symmetrically spaced locations along both the forward and rearward edges of the frame. The device further includes additional tubing coupled with the lower rectangular component extending parallel with the short sides from the front to rear long sides. The device further includes a floor of expanded metal material secured around its periphery to the upper surface of the lower rectangular component and with a small rectangular opening centrally disposed therethrough adjacent to one end thereof to allow positioning of components of an outboard motor thereadjacent and with a horizontal support midway between the front and rear long sides of the lower rectangle for supporting the interior section of the floor.
