A collapsible boat comprising forward and aft hull sections, each of which comprising a plurality of longitudinal frame members and transverse cross members. The frame members are joined into longitudinal alignment by sliding a male end of a frame member into a complimentary female end of an adjacent frame member. The frame members are also interconnected to the cross members at a plurality of connector portions to create the forward and aft hull sections. Interlocking mechanisms are used to join together the forward and aft hull sections to define a hull framework having elongate frame members that extend longitudinally between a bow and stern and that are spaced and braced by transversely extending cross members. A variable tensioning mechanism permits variation of the elevation of the bow and stem of the framework by adjusting the overall length of the elongate frame members. The framework is insertable into a flexible water impermeable skin to create a boat with adjustable handling characteristics suitable for use in a wide variety of water conditions and environments. The water impermeable skin is provided with one or more water resistant hatch for loading and unloading of the collapsible boat, and a central cockpit opening having a removable coaming and a resealable deck slit to provide for an enlarged opening through which the forward and aft hull sections may be inserted in assembling the framework.
