Outhill Boatbuilders.

Based in Warwickshire. I been there a few times, bought a bench seat and a console from them.

See www.outhill.com

Don't know how big your RIB is but take a look at this.

IMHO Outhill is not of a particulary high 'quality' and overpriced.

Contact most RIB manufacturers, they'll sell them to you. I'll dig up a previous post where i listed my findings shortly.

Here it is

http://rib.net/forum/showthread.php?...t&pagenumber=4

My post reproduced:

I've just been down this route of jockey seats. I approached all the RIB manufacturers at the boat show and most were happy to sell me the seats (at a price though). From memory i can positivaly say the following people will sell them to you:

Tornado (glass'ed to deck, did say might be able to make a flange though) about £440
Ribcraft
Ribeye single = £500, twin = £585
Ribtec (which i bought, very nice seats) a bit more expensive than Ribeye seats but nicer.

Outhill, IMHO are overpriced poor quality products

Well done for getting a good response at Outhill..Went to see them a few months ago for similar advice and they wouldn't give me the time of day!!!

Still looking for another seat for my boat

I'm pretty sure Outhill supply Avon with their consoles.
