The "AX9 Transformers" are the key physical constructs which enable owners of a specific existing powerboat model designed for day use to convert their boats into boats fully capable of extended multi-day cruising. The AX9 Transformers are designed to fit the confines of the boats known as the "Axopar 28 Open", invented by Axopar Boats OY of Finland and sold worldwide. The three key AX9 Transformer components are: a) a construct replacing the existing seats on the aft fibreglass podium and providing convertible facilities for use in sleeping, lounging, dining, desk work, dressing, and activities on exterior aft deck space of the boat, b) a construct mounted at the aft edge of the aft deck space, providing an extension of the sleeping berth surface, a secure enclosure for optional TV/ video equipment, and a base support for wet gear hangers, and c) a combination of constructs on the foredeck providing a complete food service galley. The complete transformation of the subject boats involves other modifications that are not worthy of patent protection. Once= transformed, the boats are re-classified from "day boats" to "cruising boats", with a highly advantageous market position relative to the accommodations, construct quality, and pricing of other cruising boats of similar size. The two AX9 Transformer components designed for the aft deck are not intended for installation on the Axopar 28 "cabin" or "after cabin" models, however the components designed for the foredeck can be installed as enhancements on all Axopar 28 models.
