Rib tender seat

[Rum_Pirate]

I have a 2.8m RIB which need a seat, and do not wish to fork out hundreds for a 'new Avon' seat.


Plan is to cut a solid timber 6" x 1" plank to length, pencil round the edges and paint it.

The question is how to attach it.

The RIB has a flat (+/-6" long) strap attached on each hull tube.

Suggestions please on how to make a '<'type bracket and attach it to the 'plank' seat.

Considerations: material to not cut hull tubes; seat to be removable.

I'm contemplating using a thick walled section of uPVC 2"ø pipe cutting out part of the wall, then screwing it to the underside of the 'plank' seat.

Other suggestions?

What you plan sounds fine. I was in our 2.8m Avon just a few minutes ago, you can pick up seats on EBay for about £20 or so. I might even have one in my garage which you can have, but you'd need to be in the UK to pick it up!

Thanks.

Might very well get a pair, even if longjohnsilver does come up with a seat, as my new(busted) rib also needs a seat.
