Abstract

A small watercraft having a hull with a bow portion and stern portion. A raised pedestal is provided on the hull and supports an elevated seating assembly that includes a seat for accommodating at least one rider. A buoyant storage assembly extends transversely outward from the raised pedestal and is formed integrally with the hull in the stern portion so as to increase the buoyancy and stability of the watercraft in the stern portion when said storage assembly is at least partially immersed in water.
