Yet again, a stunning boat and I still yearn for your shock seats.
The back support on the rear bench seat looks very low (more of a bum support). Having experienced the performance of your designs, it could result in someone ending up in the engine well??

we kept the rear bench seat very low because the customer wants to have easy acces to the transom and also have a bench for 4 people. so this is the result. We can make the back rest as high as the client wants. Every thing is custom build. We have a lot of storage in the steering console. With the optional sundeck in the front you will have a lot more.In this RIB we also made a big custom made bean bag for the children.

Lol my thoughts too then I remembered my last '8' was a left hooker too .... and it was due to the Verado controls IIRC and where the trim switch is on the thumb depending on your ' handidness'

Sweet Rib.

What difference does the position of the helm make?

I can drink with either hand and I'm damn sure I can work a throttle with my right hand too.
