Abstract
A small watercraft passenger compartment, control and seating arrangement. The passengers' compartment is relatively small and a control is disposed in association with a seat so that the seat may be positioned either behind the control for seated operation or to the side of the control so that an operator can stand behind the control. This facilitates boarding and also permits the operator to be at an optimum position if he desires to operate the watercraft in either the seated or standing conditions.
