It's ugly but not a bad concept. I have often wondered why boats are not like pop out rv's
As a day tripping boat it looks like its got everything.
If money was no object I could see this in my toy box.

Hard to explain. An electric motor slides the transom, seat, and swim platform aft. These photos might help. The first shows the boat (not mine) underway with the extension stowed, and the second shows the cockpit extended.

The swim platform goes back, too. That's why the model is "F42/5." It's 42 feet until I pay slip fees. Then it's 45 feet...
But seriously, if you look closely at the first photo, you can see a hatch in the swim platform, under which are the foldout dinghy chocks. I'd have to drop the dink if the swim platform didn't move back. The whole assembly moves back as a unit.

That's cool. But guess you extend before you tie stern first to dock.
What happens if it gets stuck in the out position?
Where does the filler come from inside the cockpit?

Nope. I just leave some extra room behind the boat. The cleats don't move.
If it gets stuck in the out position, a pin can be removed and the unit stowed manually.
There is no filler. The cockpit deck extends under the seat.

Mike, you are not seeing the big picture on this. That's why I have ordered the larger version.

In the interest of decorum...let's just say that gadget on your boat, to me is the same as the name of the Sultan of Brunei mega yacht!
Just too cool!
