    Abstract: A boat adapted to be powered by an outboard motor pivotally mounted on the transom, the motor of the type including a throttle and a gear shift. The boat includes a hull having a bottom wall, a bow and a stern and a floor adapted for supporting a rider in standing position intermediate the bow and stern. An upstanding rider support structure adjacent a forward portion of the floor extends upwardly to a level above the floor for providing physical support for a rider in standing position while riding the boat. A unitary control for the boat and outboard motor includes a handle bar structure pivotally mounted on the rider support structure and cable-connected for steering the outboard motor by pivoting the motor on the transom. A rotatable motor throttle control is mounted adjacent a portion on one side of the handle bar for axial rotation and is cable-interconnected for controlling the throttle position of the outboard motor.
