A jet propelled boat includes a boat body including a hull and a deck located above the hull, and a pair of frames, one frame provided on each of a right side and a left side of the deck so as to sandwich the deck in a right-left direction of the jet propelled boat. The deck includes an upper deck and a lower deck, and each of the pair of frames includes a connector that spans the upper deck and the lower deck so as to connect the upper deck to the lower deck.

A gate system for a pontoon boat is provided. The gate system may comprise a gate, a guide, and a guide interface member.

A marine deck member and the process for forming the same. The marine deck member comprises a sandwich-type composite panel made by a compression molding process. In such a process, the panel is made by subjecting a heated stack of layers of material to cold-pressing in a mold. The cellular core has a 2-D array of cells, with end faces open to the respective layers or skins. The surface traction of this type of composite panel can be enhanced for marine deck applications by controlled debossing, or embossing, of the first skin while it cools in the compression mold. The debossing effect can be affected by applying pressurized gas, e.g., pressurized air, onto the outer surface of the first skin while in the compression mold. The embossing can be affected by applying vacuum pressure on the outer surface of the first skin while in the compression mold.

A boat in which at least a portion of at least one of the port side and the starboard side of the hull is moveable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the moveable portion forms a generally upright portion of the port or starboard side of the hull, and, in the second position, the moveable portion forms a generally horizontal deck surface. A walkway connects a seating area within the boat to an area aft of the seating area, and at least a portion of the walkway is adjacent to the moveable portion of the port or starboard side. A first seat is positioned adjacent to at least a portion of the walkway and a removable seat is configured to be positioned over the walkway and adjacent to the first seat.
