ABSTRACT:
A hull and seat assembly configured to be easily installed, secured and operated on production stand up PWC. The hull assembly (21) increases buoyancy and stability sufficient for multi-rider sit down operation while maintaining peak performance geometry. The arrangement of the hull provides rider foot wells (30,31), allows it to be fabricated and installed in one piece, and provides unobstructed water jet flow and turning capability. The seat assembly (81) provides a tandem seat for multiple riders, positions the handle pole and provides a platform (29) that eases boarding from deep water. The seat assembly fills the stand up foot well and extends rear of the transom for increased longitudinal stability. Storage space is provided in both the hull (53) and seat assemblies (66). The connection strategy concurrently secures the hull (21), seat (81) and PWC (26) together with one releasable fastener (70) and is arranged to be fail safe.
