Platform boats intended to be used for motorized boating and for
forming-up with adjacent similar boats to form a continuous and
contiguous mat of boats for socializing, fishing etc. The adjacent boats
interlock and form an array of such boats all interlocked with one
another. The boats may be shaped in planform as hexagons or other
polygons but are preferably regular polygons which interlock without
leaving gaps between adjacent boats. Each boat has a center well in which
is mounted a motor. The motor may be rotated 360 degrees for driving the
boat in a corresponding direction about a 360 degree range of motion. A
pair of rudders is mounted on opposite sides of the center well to
provide for directional stability, both in the manner of a keel, and for
steering. When used as a keel, the rudders are elevated up into a channel
so as to lock them in-line. The rudders may also be lifted entirely up
into the channel to store the rudders when not in use. When fully lowered
the rudders may be used for steering the boat.
