A kit for conversion of a snowmobile for use as a personal watercraft by replacement of the skis with steerable flotation 'device' and addition of outrigger flotation 'device' to suspend the track in the water while providing flotation to the chassis, along with the flotation provided by the steerable flotation 'device'. The kit installs to the snowmobile without removing the track or engine drive, and without interference with operator control systems. Wheels may be included in keels of some hulls to allow for ease of access and egress from water to land.
