Patent ID: 7213531

Claim:
A multidirectional floatation element useful for assembling decks, walkways and docks comprising: a first generally planar surface, said first surface adapted for use as a deck; a second surface, said second surface adapted for receiving and guiding a watercraft, wherein said second surface includes a V-shaped channel extending across a center portion of said multidirectional floatation element, said V-shaped channel including two generally parallel and planar surfaces, said two generally parallel and planar surfaces diverging outwardly to cooperate with a boat keel to provide a guiding surface therefor; at least four side walls for adjoining and maintaining spacing between said first surface and said second surface, said side walls arranged to form a generally rectangular shape, wherein at least one of said side walls includes a semi-circular conduit extending the length thereof and positioned between said first and said second surfaces, whereby said semi-circular conduit is constructed and arranged to cooperate with semi-circular conduits of adjacent float elements to create a generally circular conduit extending through adjacent assembled floatation elements; whereby said first surface, said second surface and said at least four side walls are continuous and cooperate to form a hollow multidirectional floatation element, whereby said multidirectional floatation element may be positioned having said first surface uppermost for constructing decks and walkways, whereby said multidirectional floatation element may be positioned having said second surface uppermost for constructing a watercraft keel guiding surface, whereby said multidirectional floatation elements are adapted for connection to adjacent multidirectional floatation elements.
