Ribquest

In reply to Matthew H's comment regarding Ribquest seats and consoles. We have a number of single, double jockey seats and also single and dual console's all of which were designed and moulded at our premises, within the business we have a trained pattern maker who builds plugs from timber and other composite materials to produce our own plugs and moulds.
The seat and console in question are similar in design to the outhill seat and console. The seat base was drawn and a wooden plug was built to create the mould this is documented in our files with photos etc, whilst similar in appearance to the outhill seat if you were to put the two together it would be obvious to see the difference as every dimension and shape are completely different.
The same can be said for the console there is not a section or dimension that is the same as an outhill console.

The console is 30mm narrower, 10mm higher, 10mm smaller front - back.
Both forward panels are a different shape and the instrument panel is also different in that it is inset and curved, there maybe other manufacturers that have taken direct copies but Ribquest is not one of them.

Regarding quality and build finish, we will let our 5 YEAR WARRANTY speak for itself.....

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COME AND TEST THE 3 BOATS WE WILL BE EXHIBITING AT RIBEX 09
