Console manufacturers?

[Erin]

Other than outhill and leeway, is there anyone else who makes consoles? I'm doing some groudn work in preparation for a new boat, and don't particularly like the manufacturer's choice of console. Happily they'll fit any thing I provide.

Ocean RIBs AKA the Winsor brothers have some different console that they can make, no website but here's a picture of the one they made me.

The Windsor Brothers consols are good products.

My Ocean has one, the whole RIB being made by Windsor Brothers, and also Pete7 converted his pacific to use one. There is a very long thread about it somewhere which could do with having its yearly outing by somebody posting a reply.

Someone doesn't know what they've started

Yes a very nice product, plenty of room inside and loads of room to flush mount all that hardware, the only downside for some is that it has no forward facing front seat, but accesss to the underside of the dash for electrical wiring and general maintenance is superb.

I'm having two batteries, an oil tank, fuel tank take offs, fuel filter and additional storage in the bottom section of the console and I've have custom built sections glassed in to seperate these compartments. This will be covered by a false floor so the storage of boaty gear doesn't get all dirty.

Please note that the 100mm clearance reveal for the legs isn't standard to the console mould and will have to be specified as a bespoke feature.

Thank you messrs Hightower and Nasher. That's just the kind of thing I'm looking for. As it happens, I don't really want one of those suicide seats on the front, I'd much prefer the extra space inside.

PS Any chance of some dimensions please??

Aquaflyte sell their consoles - when I checked last year, the one in the pciture here was about £750 - I think it included the screen:

Not the biggest console but possibly one of the most stylish

Mine is a 1.1m w X 0.8m L footprint a little longer overall and 1.2m high The standard ones are the same dimentions except the footprint is 200mm longer at 1.0 meter but no reveal for the legs.

That Aquaflyte one looks really nice and stylish, however are you sure you've got the price right? All the ones I enquired about earlier this year where over £1000

Andy,
Looks good, but why isn't it attached to a hull?
