A fiberglass pontoon boat, having raised and integrated fiberglass side rails, a flat floor, and a side entry level with the flat floor. Integrated seats are molded in fiberglass. The hull and deck join together by flexing the hull to compensate for opposing draft angles of the hull and deck at the side entry. The deck has a floor and at least one other interior component, and terminates in a deck trim flange. The hull has at least two hollow pontoons and at least two side rails that extend from an outer edge of the pontoons, and the hull terminates in a hull trim flange. When assembled, the hull trim flange operatively engages beneath the deck trim flange to form a unified pontoon boat having a space between the deck and hull and wherein the side rails are integrated as structural parts of the interior component.

A pontoon boat includes at least two pontoon tubes, a platform supported on the at least two pontoon tubes, and an occupancy compartment capable of containing at least one occupant, the occupancy compartment having a length, a width, an upper portion extending vertically above the platform that includes a ceiling, and a lower portion extending vertically below the platform and into one of the at least two pontoon tubes, the lower portion including a floor surface for supporting the occupant. An entrance to the occupancy compartment is provided in the upper portion that permits the occupant to enter and exit the occupancy compartment.

A vehicle lavatory, in particular an aircraft lavatory, is described. The lavatory includes a cabin space with a centrally located vertical axis around which a washstand and a urinal unit are located. The washstand and urinal unit are arranged to each have an approximately horizontal surface at their top, such that a person using the lavatory has a location to place personal items during use. The horizontal surfaces of the washstand and the urinal are arranged to exist in the same plane and may be a continuous surface that may additionally cross the entirety of the width of the cabin. The urinal is arranged such that a plane defining the opening of the urinal is at an angle relative to a plane defining a front surface of the washstand such that a person using the lavatory only has to turn slightly to access the urinal and the washstand.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide waste containers for waste management on a vehicle, such as a watercraft. A waste container for use on a vehicle may include at least one wall comprising an inner surface defining a chamber for holding waste, and a plurality of projections projecting from the inner surface of the at least one wall into the chamber. Aspects of the present disclosure also provide valve apparatuses for controlling flow of waste into or out of a waste container. Such a valve apparatus may include a non-dismantlable valve body defining a flow channel for conveying waste, and at least one check valve secured within the flow channel and configured to allow waste to flow from an inlet to an outlet of the flow channel and to prevent waste from flowing from the outlet to the inlet.
