Personal Watercraft Cart Assembly

A personal watercraft cart assembly for transporting a personal watercraft to a launch site which can be subsequently towed behind the personal watercraft in a body of water, said assembly comprising:

• a cart comprising a lower shell and an upper shell being hingedly coupled to said lower shell such that said cart defines a hollow body when said upper shell is in a closed position on said lower shell, said lower shell having a bottom wall and an outer wall curving between said bottom wall and an upper edge of said lower shell such that said lower shell defines a bowl shape, said outer wall having a front end being rounded to a blunt point, said outer wall having a back end being flattened to lie on a plane, said upper shell having a top wall and an exterior wall curving between said top wall and a lower edge of said upper shell such that said upper shell defines a bowl shape, said exterior wall having a forward end being rounded to a blunt point, said exterior wall having a rear end being flattened to lie on a plane, said lower edge of said upper shell corresponding to said rear end of said exterior wall being hingedly coupled to said upper edge of said lower shell corresponding to said back end of said outer wall of said lower shell, said lower edge of said upper shell lying on said upper edge of said lower shell when said upper shell is positioned in said closed position, said upper shell extending rearwardly from said lower shell such that an interior of each of said upper shell and said lower shell is exposed with said upper shell is in an open position wherein said lower shell is configured to receive personal belongings of a user;
• a pair of rollers, each of said rollers being rotatably coupled to said cart wherein said pair of rollers is configured to facilitate said cart to be rolled along a support surface;
• an axle housing being attached to said bottom wall of said lower shell, said axle housing being oriented to extend laterally across said bottom wall, said axle housing being positioned closer to said back end of said outer wall of said lower shell than said front end of said outer wall;
• an axle being positioned within said axle housing, each of a pair of ends of said axle being attached to a hub of a respective one of said pair of rollers such that each of said rollers is spaced outwardly from said outer wall of said lower shell;
• a pair of cradles, each of said cradles being coupled to said upper shell thereby facilitating said pair of cradles to support a personal watercraft wherein said cart is configured to facilitate a user to transport said personal watercraft, each of said cradles having a lower end being coupled to said top wall of said upper shell, each of said cradles having a series of curves extending between said lower end and an upper end of said cradles such that each of said pair of cradles has an S-shape, said pair of cradles being positioned on opposite sides of a center of said top wall having each of said cradles curving away from each other thereby facilitating said pair of cradles to conform to curvature of a hull of said personal watercraft;
• wherein each of said upper shell and said lower shell is comprised of a buoyant material wherein said cart is configured to float behind said personal watercraft such that the user does not have to leave their personal belongings unattended while the user is on said personal watercraft;
• a pair of straps, each of said pair of straps being coupled to said upper shell thereby facilitating said pair of straps to be extended over said personal watercraft, said pair of straps being releasably matable to each other for securing said personal watercraft on said cart, each of said pair of straps having a primary end being coupled to said exterior wall of said upper shell, each of said pair of straps being positioned closer to said forward end of said exterior wall of said upper shell than said pair of cradles;
• a buckle being coupled to a secondary end of a respective one of said pair of straps, said buckle releasably engaging a secondary end of an opposing one of said pair of straps for retaining said pair of straps around said personal watercraft;
• a latch being movably attached to said outer wall of said lower shell, said latch being positioned on said front end of said outer wall, said latch releasably engaging said forward end of said exterior wall of said upper shell when said latch is manipulated into a closing condition;
• a gasket being applied to said upper edge of said lower shell having said gasket extending fully around said upper edge, said lower edge of said upper shell compressing said gasket when said upper shell is in said closed position, said gasket being comprised of a fluid impermeable material wherein said gasket is configured to inhibit water from entering said cart when said upper shell is in said closed position;
• a light emitter being coupled to said cart wherein said light emitter is configured to emit light outwardly from said cart thereby enhancing visibility of said cart in a darkened environment, said light emitter being positioned on said top wall of said upper shell, said light emitter being positioned closer to said rear end of said exterior wall than said pair of cradles, said light emitter including a lens being disposed on said top wall of said upper shell;
• an electronics housing being attached to a bottom surface of said top wall of said upper shell, said electronics housing being aligned with said light emitter;
• a power button being integrated into said electronics housing, said power button being electrically coupled to said light emitter for turning said light emitter on and off;
• and
• a power supply being positioned in said electronics housing, said power supply being electrically coupled to said power buttons, said power supply comprising at least one battery.
