PERSONAL WATERCRAFT
A hybrid personal watercraft combines features of pontoon boats and deck boats, in a cost-effective and versatile package. The watercraft includes port and starboard sponsons which combine a pair of outboard flotation cavities. A space below the deck and above the hull bottom creates at least one, and potentially up to three additional flotation cavities, which may also be used as storage areas accessible by an access door in the bow of the watercraft and/or a set of hatches in the deck. The watercraft may be efficiently produced assembled from polymer materials, such as thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO).
AFT-FACING TRANSOM SEATING FOR A BOAT
A boat includes one or more seats, which may be aft-facing. The seat includes a seat bottom, which may include an aft segment and a forward segment. The forward segment is inclined at a downward angle that extends in a direction from aft to fore such that an aft portion of the forward segment is higher than the forward portion of the forward segment. The seat also may include a leg rest. The leg rest may extend from the seat bottom and be supported at the upper portion of the leg rest with a gap between a lower end of the leg rest and a surface beneath the leg rest such that the leg rest is not supported by the surface underneath the leg rest.
Personal Watercraft Gunwale Rod Holder
The invention is defined as a personal watercraft gunwale rod holder complete design, fastened to a personal watercraft gunwale port or starboard. It functions as a support for rod and reels or accessories and incorporates a structure that allows unobstructed access to rod and reels of the personal watercraft port or starboard.
An incorporated locking mechanism functions as a positioning lock that also allows quick release by the user of the personal watercraft.
This invention allows to lade different accessories such as rod and reels, gaff, net, flag, or other accessories.
This invention is designed for all personal watercraft users, including those with mobility restrictions that have restricted access to the personal watercraft when obstructed by placement of items.
AQUATIC PLAY EQUIPMENT
An aquatic play equipment formed by a flexible thin film to define a space inside for floating on water is provided. The aquatic play equipment has a floating part into which air is supplied for floating on the water, a guiding part which is provided under the floating part and into which water is supplied; and, a planer partition provided between the floating part and the guiding part to prevent fluid-communication therebetween; a lower surface of the guiding part having a convex shape which protrudes into the water. When a person has dived below the aquatic play equipment, since the lower surface has the convex shape, the person can rise to the water surface easily.

Watercraft
The invention relates to a watercraft, particularly a kayak having a battery compartment and motor mount for mounting a motor thereto. The kayak can be propelled either by a motor mounted to the motor mount or by manual paddling by a user of the kayak. The kayak may additionally have a seat mounted onto a track to allow the user to adjust their position as needed in the kayak. The kayak is extra wide to provide stability, while chamfered side walls allow the user to paddle with comfort regardless of the extra width. The kayak may optionally have wheels mounted thereon to facilitate handling and transport by the user.
Universal mounting system for watersport tow boats
In one implementation, an accessory mount system for a watersport tow boat includes a boat mount that is configured to be attached to a boat mounting surface that is adjacent to or part of a swim platform that extends from a rear of the watersport tow boat. The accessory mount system can further include an accessory arm that includes a first end and a second end, where the first end is configured to be fixedly attached to the accessory arm mounting surface of the boat mount and the second end is configured to be positioned above a top surface of the swim platform when the accessory arm is attached to the watersport tow boat via the boat mount. The accessory mount system can further include an accessory adapter positioned at the second end of the accessory arm.
Water supply and storage system for water vessel
A water vessel includes a deck having an upper surface and a lower surface. First and second hulls are spaced-apart from one another and operably coupled to the lower surface of the deck. At least one of the first and second hulls has an at least partially hollow interior. A storage tank is positioned within the at least partially hollow interior of at least one of the first and second hulls. A tub for holding water is supported by the deck. The tub includes an interior cavity having a capacity and is fluidically coupled to the storage tank. The storage tank has a capacity less than the capacity of the tub. A pump system is configured to direct water between the tub and the storage tank and at least partially fill the capacity of the tub.

Wakeboat with dynamic wave control
Wakeboat ballast pump systems and methods are provided to monitor the operational condition and parameters of wakeboat ballast components. Systems and methods for sensing and measurement are provided to detect parameters associated with wakeboat ballast pumps and compartments, including systems and methods that can economically retrofit into existing wakeboat ballast systems. Systems and methods are also provided to enable automated action based on various operational conditions and parameters to improve the safety, automation, performance, convenience, and marketing advantage of wakeboat ballast pumps.
