Rupert 26 ULO

jcledin · 19 December 2011, 21:08

My Rupert 26 ULO from 1998 with Yamaha VMAX 225. 45 Knots.
Thinking of replacing the jockey seats/console with a steering console and four separate stand-up chairs.

Do you know any one supplying with nice steering consoles?

I have NEVER heard of a boat maker called Rupert.

Nice looking boat though..

I'm just glad mine is called Osprey, I dont think the Ribnet nobbers would ever let it go if I owned a boat called Wupert :-)

What is it with the Scandi's? They make a fine boat and then give a daft name. Rupert, Goldfish, Guppy.

Selection of consoles and seating here. Boat Seating for RIBS and open boats or Zodiac Marine - Accessories

If budget isn't a problem, then shock mitigation seats would be just dandy on a rib that size. Scot Boat Seats

Many thanks for feedback. I don't know why they named the brand Rupert - might be the founders name or something, and yes it is a strange name. In any case, they make very good RIB's and I am happy that I found one at a resonable cost. Check Rupert Marine & Ruptech Marine.

I should say. The Mil/Pro stuff looks fantastic. Good website too.

Just a pity the windscreen looks like it was knocked up on an allotment

Check with Grand RIB or Dahl Naval in Orminge, Stockholm.

I have been in contact with both of them lately when I changed the patches on our Osprey Vipermax. They are very good at what they do.

I don´t like standing chairs. Many accidents with them, i should go for suspension chairs instead.
Check coastal pro seats for good priced, or X-Craft or Scots for more expensive ones.

JCLedin´s boat is build in Sweden. But today they build the boats in Poland. at Technomarine. They only build the biggest ones in Sweden... But they use their own moulds. Not the ones at technohulls page.

Are you interested of a rupert original type of steering console?

The Slug · 10 August 2012, 21:22

obviously I'm completly bias but Parker ribs do a good solid consol and they're just across the pond from you in Gdynia, Poland. Andre (one of the directors) is a member on here, i'm sure if you send him a pm he'll be happy to help. Nice rib by the way

Yes, I might be. Do you have one/have contacts? I checked with Rupert Marine but it was really expensive.
