I guess something similar to an aircraft carrier platform, but in reverse. Mind you, there would be no need for such a boat to cruise to Alaska or any other cold water destination. It would be used in warm vacation waters, and could flip up flush with the ship's sides during rough stormy waters. {copyright pending!} :lol:
