ABSTRACT:
An extendable deck assembly for a boat to provide additional use area of the boat while on the lake. In the retracted position the extendable deck permits a smaller trailer to be used for transporting the boat and provide better maneuverability on the lake. The extendable deck provides use area in the retracted position as well as the extended position, thereby eliminating stowing problems. The longitudinal movement of the extendable deck may be adapted with an actuating device or may be operated manually. The extendable deck assembly is designed to accommodate the side curvature of the boat and may be a built-in feature of the boat or may be marketed independently.
