Rupert 26 ULO

My Rupert 26 ULO from 1998 with Yamaha VMAX 225. 45 Knots.
Thinking of replacing the jockey seats/console with a steering console and four separate stand-up chairs.

Do you know any one supplying with nice steering consoles?

I have NEVER heard of a boat maker called Rupert.

Nice looking boat though..

I'm just glad mine is called Osprey, I dont think the Ribnet nobbers would ever let it go if I owned a boat called Wupert :-)

What is it with the Scandi's? They make a fine boat and then give a daft name. Rupert, Goldfish, Guppy.

Selection of consoles and seating here. Boat Seating for RIBS and open boats or Zodiac Marine - Accessories

If budget isn't a problem, then shock mitigation seats would be just dandy on a rib that size. Scot Boat Seats

Many thanks for feedback. I don't know why they named the brand Rupert - might be the founders name or something, and yes it is a strange name. In any case, they make very good RIB's and I am happy that I found one at a resonable cost. Check Rupert Marine & Ruptech Marine.

I should say. The Mil/Pro stuff looks fantastic. Good website too.

Check with Grand RIB or Dahl Naval in Orminge, Stockholm.

I have been in contact with both of them lately when I changed the patches on our Osprey Vipermax. They are very good at what they do.
