Abstract: A small personal watercraft having a number of features, such as a pair of rear-view mirrors which form a ventilating function for ventilating the engine compartment. The watercraft has a straddle-type motorcycle-like seat on which passengers may sit in straddle/tandem fashion and an engine. The major portions of its exhaust system are disposed beneath this seat. The exhaust system is centralized in the watercraft to maintain side-to-side balance, and a portion of the seat is removable for accessing the engine. Various grab-handle arrangements are also incorporated for assisting riders to maintain their stability or for assisting in entry of the watercraft from the body of water in which the watercraft is operated using a foldable ladder mounted on a rear deck to the rear of the seat.
