A jet boat includes a cockpit arranged in a central portion of the jet boat on a boat body centerline, a bulwark provided along a circumference of a deck, and a platform fixed to a stern. In the bulwark, the upper surface of a rear bulwark between the platform and the cockpit is located above the upper surface of a foot space and below the seating surface of a seat.

An article of manufacture for providing a reverse/aft console with a telescoping top on a recreational boat is disclosed. The recreational boat includes a forward helm console for controlling operation of the boat positioned at a forward position of a cockpit, a reverse/aft console containing a head positioned at an aft portion of the cockpit, an access door in a side of the reverse/aft console to provide a closable enclosing surface to the head within the reverse/aft console, and a pop-top cover coupled to the reverse/aft console for enclosing the head therein.

A pontoon boat with a fencing defining the passenger region on a deck of the pontoon boat. The fencing comprising a plurality of fencing sections, each fencing section comprising a fencing framework and paneling secured to the fencing framework. The system may include detachable rail caps and/or rail attachments that hold the skin against the rail. The fencing framework of each fencing section may comprise a plurality of aluminum tubular extrusion segments with opposing open ends, a plurality of segment connectors interconnecting the tubular extrusion segments, each segment connector having a main body portion and a plurality of insert portions extending from and unitary with the respective main body portion, the plurality of tubular extrusion segments including a plurality of panel holding tubular extrusion segments, each with edge panel retainer strips attached thereto that secure an edge portion of the paneling to the respective tubular extrusion segment.

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.

A passage assist provides a temporary support to stabilize passage of a person over a surface, such as in a boat. The passage assist can be a fold down railing that in a deployed position presents a handle or railing in a location to be easily grasped by a person walking on the adjacent surface, such as the deck of a boat. In a collapsed or stowed position, the fold down railing can be positioned completely out of the way so that it provides no impediment or barrier to movement on the surface. In the case of a boat, the fold down railing does not permanently occupy precious space within the boat.

The present invention relates to a stern platform (100) provided with recreation openings, comprising an opening (150) arranged in any position on the platform (100), comprising at least one gate (200) provided with at least one removable element (210) and/or at least one foldable element (220).

Sun heats dark continents more than reflective oceans. Air moves onshore from high pressure to low. Creating wind: powering weather and storms—“hurricane-in-a-box-on-water” principles producing electricity in a marine vessel, providing Green Technology for Marine Transportation. Captured and recovered heat, offset by loss of heat, creates differential pressure conditions across multiple rotary engines. Night and day, a working fluid moves from high pressure to low; powering alternators, batteries, domestics, and in-hull electric drive trains, in a unique, lightweight exoskeleton dome shell design vessel. Disclosed vessel design advantages include: high energy collection and living space to vessel length ratio; high strength to weight ratio; high carrying capacity, downwind sailing while producing electricity; modular fabrication and shipping; and sustained hull speed in a vessel harvesting energy from the environment. The longer the vessel: the more it carries: the greater the hull speed: the faster it goes.

A catamaran having two parallel symmetrical hulls of equal size spaced apart with a superstructure lower deck extending from an outer edge of the first hull to an outer edge of the second hull. The lower deck is positioned above the static waterline and provides a single, constant, flush elevation height across the entire length and breadth of the vessel, with the placement of control and propulsion machinery in the hulls. The improved catamaran has an increased freeboard, increased gross tonnage, and decreased design pressures on the superstructure scantlings of the catamaran deck as compared to a conventional catamaran having a lower deck mounted beneath the static waterline, or accommodations added to the hulls.
