Benefits of technology

[0011]The general object of this invention is to provide a portable boat lounge that can be use by a person to relax in a prone position across the beam of a boat. A more specific object of this invention is to provide a portable boat lounge that is easy to attach and remove from the sides of a boat.
[0014]Still another object of this invention is to provide a portable boat lounge which is safe to use.

Problems solved by technology

However, most aluminum, fiberglass and wooden boat under 20 feet in length do not have sufficient room for a person to lie down and take a nap.
Although many boats now use indoor / outdoor carpeting on their floor, the concept of lying on the bottom of the boat is not appealing to most people.
One reason for this is that the floor tends to be dirty and / or wet in spots.
Another reason is that if a person lays down on the floor of the boat, the other people in the boat would be limited in where they could move about.
However, the internal configuration of each boat vary widely with many boats having running lights, fishing pole holders, cup holders, live wells, storage compartments, etc. that make it impractical to assemble a cot or narrow bed at this location.
Furthermore, such a cot or bed could be unstable and present safety issues.
