Abstract
A watercraft is basically provided with a watercraft structure, a platform mount and a platform. The watercraft structure defines an outer top boat perimeter. The platform mount is provided on the watercraft structure. The platform includes a platform portion and a support portion coupled to the platform mount. The platform portion is disposed below the platform mount while the support portion is coupled to the platform mount in a first deployed position that is outside of the outer top boat perimeter. The platform portion is disposed above the platform mount while the support portion is coupled to the platform mount in a second deployed position that is outside of the outer top boat perimeter.
Claims21
A watercraft comprising:
- a watercraft structure defining an outer top boat perimeter, the watercraft structure including a swim platform;
- a platform mount mounted to the swim platform;
- and
- a platform including a platform portion and a support portion coupled to the platform mount, the platform portion having a first surface and a second surface that faces in an opposite direction to the first surface,
- the platform portion being disposed below the platform mount and outside of the outer top boat perimeter with the first surface of the platform portion facing upward while the support portion is coupled to the platform mount in a first deployed position, the platform portion being selectively secured relative to the platform mount via the support portion in the first deployed position, and
- the platform portion being disposed above the platform mount and outside of the outer top boat perimeter with the second surface of the platform portion facing upward while the support portion is coupled to the platform mount in a second deployed position that is different from the first deployed position, the platform portion being selectively secured relative to the platform mount via the support portion in the second deployed position such that the platform portion and the swim platform are entirely spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction of the watercraft.

A watercraft comprising:
- a watercraft structure defining an outer top boat perimeter;
- a platform mount provided on the watercraft structure;
- and
- a platform including a platform portion and a support portion coupled to the platform mount,
- the platform portion being disposed below the platform mount while the support portion is coupled to the platform mount in a first deployed position that is outside of the outer top boat perimeter,
- the platform portion being disposed above the platform mount while the support portion is coupled to the platform mount in a second deployed position that is outside of the outer top boat perimeter,
