ABSTRACT:
A number of embodiments of small watercraft wherein at least a portion of the propulsion system is disposed beneath a longitudinally extending raised seat that is adapted to accommodate at least a pair of riders seated in straddle tandem fashion or a rider-operator in two different longitudinal positions. The engine for the watercraft, which may be a V-type engine in some embodiments, is positioned at least in part beneath the seat and may accessed for servicing through an access opening closed by a removable cushion portion of the seat. The access opening is not large enough to permit removal of the engine, but a further access opening is formed through which the engine may be removed.
