A small-sized surface boat is configured such that a seat extending in the fore-and-aft
direction is mounted on the center of a deck that constitutes an upper surface
of a hull. An approximately horizontal flat portion is formed behind the seat and
on a rear end portion of the deck. An inclined surface portion having an upward
gradient toward a front from a front end of the flat portion is formed, and a finger
catching groove to be caught by fingers of an extended hand from a rear side of
the hull is integrally formed in a front end of the inclined surface portion.
