Abstract
A boat includes a hull having a bow and a transom, a seat support structure, and an aft-facing seat positioned proximate to the transom and at least partially supported by the seat support structure. The aft-facing seat is positioned proximate to the transom and is at least partially supported by the seat support structure. The aft-facing seat includes a seat bottom configured to slide between an inward position and an outward position. When the seat bottom is in the outward position, the seat bottom is aft of its position in the inward position.
