Abstract
This disclosure relates to a small boat construction such as a recreational water scooter type. The boat includes a hull, a control handle, and a pivot connecting the handle to the hull, the pivot enabling the handle to be pivoted between a lowered position, an upright position and intermediate positions. The boat further includes a mechanism connected between the handle and the hull adjacent the pivot, the mechanism including a resistance mechanism effective for resisting movement of the handle to the upright position, and apparatus for canceling the resistance mechanism.
