Abstract
A patrol or rescue boat that is formed with a catamaran hull so as to provide a generally open deck area that extends through the rear of the transom for facilitating the transfer of injured persons onto the deck area from the body of water. In addition, a removable front deck is also provided. The rear deck has a pivotal portion so as to facilitate transfer of injured persons onto the deck and then to form an enclosure so that heated water can be flooded into the deck from the cooling jacket of the engine so as to heat an injured person. A litter is provided that has a pair of side poles and an open netting received on the side poles. The side poles are provided with flotation devices so as to float the body of a victim in the water and so as to facilitate transfer of the victim and litter into the deck area of the patrol boat.
