The invention provides an apparatus that attaches to a hull of a boat to disrupt water flow around the hull such that a wake created behind the boat is larger, differently positioned, and/or differently shaped. In some embodiments, the apparatus is removably attached to the hull by one or more suction cups. The wake shaping apparatus can include a blade and be configured such that an angular orientation of the blade is adjustable. In certain embodiments, the wake shaping apparatus is inflatable.

A lightweight and portable seat step includes a series of laminated flexible layers with a void defined inside of a middle flexible layer to accommodate a thin but very stiff or rigid sheet of material as compared to the flexible layers. The stiff sheet is surrounded by the remainder of the flexible material of the layer that forms a flexible perimeter and the adjacent layers of material. Together, the flexible layers and stiff sheet function as a monolithic body.

Portable structural seat step

A portable, pumpless water ballast system can be constructed of a flexible water-proof membrane molded or formed of welded panels to make a desired shape, such as cube-shaped when filled with water. Along the top side is an opening for filling the container. A water-proof closure is provided in the opening to prevent water leaking out. An air release valve can be installed near the top area of the container's top or side panels. A handle or strap can also be provided on one or more of the adjacent sides of the container. A plastic threaded drain and closure can be provided on one or more sides to allow for emptying of the container or to attach other features like a hose or other accessory.

The invention provides a cup holder adaptor assembly that includes both a portable cup holder and a cup deck. The cup deck is configured to be mounted removably within the portable cup holder, such that when the cup deck is mounted removably within the portable cup holder, a storage compartment is created between the cup deck and a bottom of the portable cup holder.

The invention provides an apparatus that attaches to a hull of a boat to disrupt water flow around the hull such that a wake created behind the boat is larger, differently positioned, and/or differently shaped. The apparatus includes a base and a blade. The blade is equipped with a mount structure that attaches the base to the blade. The blade can be reversibly mountable to the base such that either face of the blade faces a desired direction. The apparatus provides tool-free adjustment between a first configuration in which the base is mounted to the blade and a second configuration in which the base and the blade are separated. In some embodiments, the apparatus is removably attached to the hull by one or more suction cups. Additionally, the apparatus can be inflatable. The invention further provides a deployable lanyard assembly and a splash deflector for use with the apparatus.
