I think you may struggle to find this. My 585 had a dual console, dual jockeys and a bench seat. There wasn't space for a second pair of jockeys. Even at that she was a touch stern heavy with the bench seat and fully loaded.

Would this be too stern heavy then?

On a 585 you’ve got room for 2 rows of seats - I’ve always hated double jockey seats anyway!

They come up on the Facebook Ribcraft Owners Group from time to time.
Might be worth joining there and bide your time.

That configuration will be a squeeze in a 585. And will need powering to the max HP. I doubt you’ll actually find one in that layout.

Theres a nice little ribcraft 6.5 on ebay and you could easily change the double jockeys at the back for singles and a bench ; but if you take a look you will note 6.5 is probhably your min to get 6 seats behind the console

Thanks gents - food for though....
I can see I'm unlikely to find this used, so have started a thread in the 'general' section, to get opinions on the proposed config.

So do I...squeeze?!!...you'd have to be Douglas Bader without his "Tins" to make adult use of the Bech seat! 
Balance is the name of the game and a 585 is not the ideal RIB for 6 seated passengers behind the consul IMO

Ribcraft 585
We're selling ours.
Four individual jockey seats plus a console with bow seating. I think that's about as much seating as you'll comfortably get in a 585.

Out of interest, Nick, did you find a 6 jockey 585?

No - in the end I went for a 7m Coastline with 2 x single jockeys & 2 x double jockeys. We also fitted a rear bench. Very pleased, goes well with 175 on the back.
