Power boat emergency floatation device

A power boat emergency floatation device comprising:

• a boat having a hull, said hull having an upper edge extending around said boat;
• a plurality of cavities, each cavity extending into said hull of said boat, said cavities being positioned in spaced arrangement around said hull of said boat;
• a plurality of inflatable bladders, each said inflatable bladder being positioned in an associated one of said cavities, each said inflatable bladder being coupled to said hull of said boat, each said inflatable bladder being selectively inflatable wherein said inflatable bladders inhibit sinking of the boat when said inflatable bladders are inflated and extended from said hull, said inflatable bladders being arranged into two rows, each row extending along a lateral side of said boat, each said inflatable bladder having a bulbous main section and a tapered neck section, said tapered neck section extending between said hull of said boat and said main section when said inflatable bladder is deployed, said cavities being aligned relative to said hull such that said inflatable bladders are configured for supporting said boat in a substantially a horizontal plane when said boat is supported by said inflatable bladders on a calm water surface;
• a trigger mechanism, said trigger mechanism being operationally coupled to each said inflatable bladder wherein actuation of said trigger mechanism deploys each said inflatable bladder from said associated cavity and inflates each said inflatable bladder, said trigger mechanism comprising a hand operable switch coupled to said boat such that said hand operable switch is configured for selective actuation by a person positioned in said boat, said trigger mechanism comprising a float switch positioned on said boat such that said float switch is positioned to be actuated by water collecting within said boat whereby said each said inflatable bladder is deployed upon detection of water collecting in said boat by said float switch, said trigger mechanism comprising an electrical short detector operationally coupled to an electrical system of said boat wherein said electrical short detector is actuated by detection of a short in the electrical system of the boat;
• a plurality of inflation mechanisms, each inflation mechanism being positioned in an associated one of said cavities and operationally coupled to an associated one of said inflatable bladders, each said inflation mechanism being operationally coupled to said trigger mechanism wherein each said inflation mechanism is actuated by said trigger mechanism;
• a cover coupled to said boat, said cover selectively covering said hand operable switch wherein said cover inhibits unintended actuation of said trigger mechanism;
• a plurality of panels, each said panel being coupled to said hull of said boat, each said panel covering an associated one of said cavities, each said panel having an outer surface flush with an outer surface of said hull while said panel is covering said associated cavity.
