Stackable board platform for marine vessel

Abstract

There is disclosed a stackable platform for a boat deck which can be placed between a helm of a boat deck and a seat on a boat deck. The platform is for allowing a user to stand on the platform. There is an optional shock absorbing element coupled to the platform as well. There is a base, a platform that can be attached to the base and an optional additional platform such as an intermediate platform.

1 . A system for supporting a user on a boat deck comprising:
 a) at least one base coupled to a recessed region on said boat deck behind a helm of a boat and disposed between a seat and a console unit on a boat;   b) at least one platform, coupled to said at least one base; and   c) at least one flexible elastic shock absorbing element coupled to said at least one platform;   wherein said at least one base has at least one recessed region, and said at least one platform has at least one extending section, wherein when said at least one platform is coupled to said at least one base, said at least one extending section extends into said at least one recessed region of said base, and such that said at least one platform is stacked upon said base to support a user on said boat deck to provide a support for a user positioned adjacent to the helm of a boat to allow a user to stand and operate at the helm of a boat.   
   
   
       2 . The system as in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one intermediate stacking element for stacking on top of said at least one base, wherein said at least one platform is stackable on top of said at least one intermediate stacking element. 
   
   
       3 . The system as in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one platform is made from a substantially rigid housing that is made from a composite foam material. 
   
   
       4 . The system as in  claim 2 , wherein said at least one intermediate stacking platform has at least one recessed region, and said at least one intermediate stacking platform has at least one extending section, wherein said at least one extending section extends into said at least one recessed region of said base. 
   
   
       5 . The system as in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one platform further comprises a non-skid surface disposed on a top surface of said at least one platform. 
   
   
       6 . The system as in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one heater disposed in said platform. 
   
   
       7 . The system as in  claim 6 , further comprising at least one battery disposed in said platform. 
   
   
       8 . The system as in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one light coupled to said platform. 
   
   
       9 . The system as in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one vibrating element coupled to said platform. 
   
   
       10 . The system as in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one flange coupled to said platform for covering at least one section of said boat deck. 
   
   
       11 . A system for supporting a user on a boat deck comprising:
 a) at least one base coupled to said boat deck behind a helm of a boat and disposed between a seat and a console unit on a boat; and   b) at least one platform, coupled to said at least one base;   wherein when said at least one platform is coupled to said at least one base, wherein said at least one platform is stacked upon said base to support a user on said boat deck to provide a support for a user positioned adjacent to the helm of a boat to allow a user to stand and operate at the helm of a boat.   
   
   
       12 . The system as in  claim 11 , further comprising at least one intermediate stacking element for stacking on top of said at least one base, wherein said at least one platform is stackable on top of said at least one intermediate stacking element. 
   
   
       13 . The system as in  claim 11 , wherein said at least one platform is made from a substantially rigid housing that is made from a composite foam material. 
   
   
       14 . The system as in  claim 12 , wherein said at least one intermediate stacking platform has at least one recessed region, and said at least one intermediate stacking platform has at least one extending section, wherein said at least one extending section extends into said at least one recessed region of said base. 
   
   
       15 . The system as in  claim 11 , wherein said at least one platform further comprises a non-skid surface disposed on a top surface of said at least one platform. 
   
   
       16 . The system as in  claim 11 , further comprising at least one heater disposed in said platform. 
   
   
       17 . The system as in  claim 16 , further comprising at least one battery disposed in said platform. 
   
   
       18 . The system as in  claim 11 , further comprising at least one light coupled to said platform. 
   
   
       19 . The system as in  claim 11 , further comprising at least one vibrating element coupled to said platform. 
   
   
       20 . A system for supporting a user on a boat deck comprising:
 a) at least one base disposed on the boat deck between a seat and a console unit on a boat, said base having a top receiving surface; and   b) at least one platform, positioned on said at least one base, said at least one platform having a top surface, positioned above said top receiving surface on said base;   wherein said at least one platform provides height adjustability for a user above a boat deck.
