The present invention provides a hull-conversion device and method for modifying the underside of a watercraft, more specifically a multihull watercraft. The hull-conversion device comprising a water diverting surface, a kinematic assemblage, and a frame. The hull-conversion device may be operable to adjust the watercraft's characteristics in displacement mode and planing mode. The hull-conversion device may function to provide a more stable, controllable, and efficient platform for operating a multihull watercraft, and provide a suitable wake for towable water sports.

A telescoping device mount is configured to hold an electronic device. The telescoping device mount is configured to fully extend or fully retract the electronic device. The telescoping device mount includes a telescoping post, a mount segment, and a base. The telescoping post includes an inner post segment and an outer post segment. The mount segment is configured to secure an electronic device thereto. The mount segment includes an outer collar slidably securable to the outer post segment of the telescoping post. The base is secured to the inner post segment such that the outer post segment telescopes relative to the inner post segment. In a fully retracted position, the electronic device is proximate to the base and/or an underlying surface.

An audio system for a vehicle, such as a personal watercraft, having a vehicle body dimensioned for receiving a side-view mirror, includes a speaker pod that includes a housing dimensioned for supporting a speaker operable to produce sound, and a mounting member for mounting the speaker pod to the vehicle body in place of the side-view mirror. A portion of the housing is shaped similarly to a corresponding portion of the side-view mirror.

A method of installing an audio system on a vehicle having a vehicle body dimensioned for receiving a side-view mirror involves: (a) determining that the side-view mirror is removed from the vehicle body; and (b) mounting a speaker pod of the audio system, along a mounting member of the speaker pod, to the vehicle body in place of the side-view mirror such that a housing of the speaker pod supports a speaker operable to produce sound.
