Hmm, that would probably end up looking like a crown on the Bat's head (or neck). Certainly would need a fight to get to the "quarterdeck" (I prefer Nelson's Navy to the more modern one :-).), especially if it's covered (What? Ride in the full sun, when you can have a canopy?)
But if there are chairs, they *cannot* have seatbelts - falling out of your seat when the Bat takes a hit is mandatory, as is the "Shaky Camera" when everyone is supposed to stagger to one side of the bat, then the other. :-).
