Can I suggest you contact Biffer on here. He does a very neat Cabin that might well fit the bill.

i will give him a call, was lucky enough to meet him this last summer.

i have seen he does cabins, i am after a cabin console, so its in the centre of the deck.

thanks

you could try
Gordon by Drivers Dry Berthing - he has a mould for a console with cabin
biff also has a console mould that could probably be extended to provide accomodation

and i think it was developed by leeway composites.

Lee has a cabin console he made for his ribs, but when I asked 2 years or so ago, he was not selling it separately for other brands.

Nothing to do with Leeway Composites - all designed and built by Mike Ring. The moulds are with Ring Powercraft and they make them as required for Jim over at Bembridge.

Me too!

I think Leeway was commissioned to make them though Bembridge

Although I could be talking Bull S*$t

Err, I was only talking about the cabin, as it is quite well known on here that the hull is a Ring.

Hi all,

We at leeway composites (leeway ribs) did develope and build the first shearwater consoles. We manufactured them for bembridge outboards for a while. Being busy building our own range we decided it was taking to much of our time and no longer make them.

We have a prototype cabin console and can sell them if you are interested?

Jim Robinson · 29 January 2011, 15:03

Just to clarify we contracted L & N composites - now leeway to build the original plugs and moulds for us in 04 to our design. We also contracted them to build the first few of the smaller cabins for us. The cabin has been up dated twice since then. Mike Ring manufactured the later design for us. We own the moulds and design. We do also supply some of the later slightly larger cabins to other manufactures to fit to their own projects.
We have spent the last 15 months working on a completely new 975 model, the first will be diesel inboard powered which we will launch later in the year.
Jim
