ABSTRACT:
A watercraft or an assembly for a watercraft will reduce shock and vibration of high speed travel being transmitted to occupants. The assembly provides shock and vibration reduction to a base and/or seats. The assembly is pivotally connected to the watercraft at an aft element such as the transom. When a vessel is under way at high speeds, the transom is subjected to the least up and down motion, and the bow to the greatest motion. The assembly includes a base that is pivotally connected to the transom. Since the transom suffers the least motion, the base will be most stable. The base is supported by a spring connected to the hull. Shock absorbers may also be connected to reduce the vibration of the base when the hull is moving at high speeds. The occupants and even a standing operator are protected from vibration by standing on the base.
