Pedal-powered watercraft

An occupant-powered watercraft, comprising:

• a unitary hull having an upper wall extending from a bow portion to a stern portion of the watercraft, and a pair of spaced hollow sponsons, each sponson extending along the length of the hull and having an inner wall connected to an outer wall by a bottom wall and front and rear walls to thereby form a hollow interior, the sponsons being located on opposite sides of the upper wall and being integrally joined therewith at the inner walls, the upper wall together with the inner walls of the sponsons forming a tunnel that opens generally downwardly and extends from the bow portion to the stern portion of the watercraft;
• a deck connected to the hull, the deck having an elongate opening that defines a cockpit area for receiving an occupant;
• a first seat located in the cockpit area;
• a pedal assembly connected to the hull forwardly of the seat and including a pair of rotatable pedals;
• and
• a propeller operably connected to the pair of pedals for rotation in response to rotation of the pedals;
• wherein forward movement of the watercraft from rotation of the propeller causes water to enter into the tunnel at the bow portion and exit the tunnel at the stern portion.
