I agree with you Des - I prefere a nice jockey seat my self!

However, my passengers will prefer a bench seat to a tube I think.

I would go with jockey seats if I had more space, but I don't

Heres what I'm doing:

I have a one man jockey console just like yours with the exception that my console is moved about 2 feet forward. I am then going to get an igloo (US product) cooler that doubles as a seat. You can even buy a cushion to strap to it. I am going to add fuel tank tie downs to the rear floor so this cooler can be strapped down. Now its just a question of making it jockey style seat or a bench seat minus the backrest. I think the jockey setup would work well for one passenger while the bench layout could hold 2. But I think the jockey would provide more stability for the 2nd whilst the bench wouldn't be that stable for the 2.

Thats a good idea. You can actually get a proper kit for fixing it down. I belive Dan TD5 has such a device on his RIB....

Yes the length some people will go to to sell a Rib!
Sun, Sand, clear blue water & a male model!!
These thing all make a difference.
I wonder why he is selling so soon?
Bigger boat may be?

If you squint a bit, I reckon that band over his shoulder and accross his chest says "Mr Universe 2004". He is just about to single handedly lift the boat high above his head before balancing it on his chin.
