bench seat

I have a humber rib assault to which i would like to put a bench seat behind the jockey seat and console. Can anyone recommend a supplier for such seats as i have tried without much luck. Thanks, Taff.

You might want to talk to Biffer or Chubby. one has a mold for making a bench seat, and I'm pretty sure they'll do a deal for you

Humber fitted one on my Destroyer from new, so maybe you could try them? Expensive though, I thought, and I've a feeling they bought them in. It's great, I sleep on it. Anyone sitting on it while under way tends to get very cold and quite wet as there's no shelter from the wind and any spray from the bow in a cross wind hits them.

It isnt difficult to make one. I did and the best addition to the boat + it was designed to fit and does nicely. didnt cost much either and looks good!

Can you post some pictures. of the Bench seat?

I've been talking about making my own for a while, Biff's looks really good but there's nothing like the satisfaction of DIY
