ABSTRACT:
Personal watercraft having ergonomically improved footwell designs. The footwells reside on either side of the personal watercraft straddle-type seat and can include higher outside footwell walls in preferred embodiments. The higher outside footwell walls can provide added protection to the driver's legs from unwanted contact from other boats and docks. Several improved footwells are provided, and include improved height to bottom width ratios and improved inner and outer wall angles. Footwells according to the present invention provide for more comfortable driver placement within the personal watercraft as well as easier egress from the watercraft and easier extraction of the driver's feet.
