ABSTRACT:
A watercraft having a bow rider-type configuration wherein the forwardmost riders' seats are canted slightly inwardly toward the longitudinal centerline of the watercraft so as to permit adequate leg room without overly extending the length of the hull. A pass-through connects the bow riders' portion to a main seating portion in which a bench-type seat that is adapted to accommodate three riders is provided. The pass-through between the seating portions is not significantly wider than one of the seats. Various arrangements for a storage compartment and engine and jet pump clean-out and flushing access are also provided.
