A conversion seat for a marine vessel that converts from a lean post configuration to a seat configuration. In a stowed position, the seat is stored vertically exposing a cushion that can be used as a lean post. When a positive lock is released the seat is able to rotate, in some embodiments with an assist from a gas strut, two-hundred and seventy (270) degrees until the seat lands on a horizontal surface. When released, a backrest opens to a desired angle providing a comfortable seat or sun pad. To stow the seat for use as a lean post, the backrest is folded back down and then the seat is able to rotate back through the two-hundred and seventy (270) degrees to its vertical stowed position.

A collapsible boat hull (10) with at least one bottom panel (16,18) and two side panels (12,14), and a removable transom (32) with attachment means (36) to engage the transom with the two sides of the boat hull, such that, during installation of the transom member, the attachment means initially engages with the sides of the boat, and rotation of the transom to an upright position in the boat hull retains the attachment means and the respective sides of the boat hull together. Releasable latches (42,44) at the lower edge of the transom engage with retaining members (54) on the bottom panels. Seating or cross-bracing has (100) which releasably engage with retainers on the sides of the boat.

A marine helm seat includes a seat base positionable within a marine vessel. The marine helm seat also includes a seat back extending from the seat base in an upward direction from a longitudinal axis of the seat base. Further, the marine helm seat includes an actuation mechanism that reclines the seat back in response to a reclining force acting on the seat back. The actuation mechanism is also able to lock the seat back in a reclined position. Additionally, the actuation mechanism is positioned on an underside of the seat base.
