Abstract: The focus of the new inventions here is on safety from injury and the lessening of the current loss of life in the use and pleasure desired by the American Public from the small, motor powered, open planing hull, first introduced to the world by Ole Evinrude in 1908. Specifically, thought is introduced about people riding on the top deck of a boat rather than down in a boat. Mention is made of swing chair seating, and it's support of high safety rails, as well as the all-round good view the driver has because of having his seat and console mounted on the top deck. Furthermore, discussion is developed on the advantages and dependability of the inertia control swing pivot used under the chairs which are mounted on the frames of the swing chair system. Some mention is made of the expected nationwide use of the boat with swing chairs as ambulance and police boats.

Abstract: A boat having chairs which are swingably mounted in transversely spaced relation at opposite sidewalls of the boat. The boat includes a lower deck and a vertically spaced upper deck, the latter extending generally in a single plane and generally substantially continuously across the boat's interior at the level of the upper surface of the sidewalls of the boat, to effectively shed substantially all high wave water. Each of the chairs has a supporting pedestal mounted at or above the top deck along the upper surface of both boat sidewalls, so the swinging seat of the chair can be swung outside the boat sidewalls. Each chair is pivotally mounted upon the upper surface of a swinging frame which encircles the chair's pedestal, and its axis of pivot relative to the frame is disposed at the front of the chair, which provides a force opposing the force vectors presented by high waves, and facilitates movement of the chair for greater comfort and safety.

Abstract: A deep-sea fisherman's chair comprising seat structure mounted for pivotal movement about a vertical axis located preferably forwardly of the forward edge of the seat and having a fishing-pole socket in the form of a gimbal preferably located between the axis of pivot of the seat and its forward edge.
