ABSTRACT:
A floating deck apparatus (20) includes a plank (40), a pair of tracks (54), a ladder (60), and a pair of handles (64). Each track (54) is coupled to the underside of a boat platform. The pair of tracks rollingly supports the plank (1) in a storage position, (2) in a deck position, and (3) in a ramp position. A proximal stop (88) across the proximal ends (62) of the tracks (54) stops the plank (40) in the ramp position. A distal stop bar (89) across the distal ends (66) of the tracks (54) stops the plank (40) in the storage position. The ladder (64) is movably coupled to the bottom (105) of the plank (40) and pivots from (1) a swimming position to (2) a storage position. The pair of handles (64) is mounted to the plank top (42) or to the plank proximal end (48).
