I've just begun learning about boats. I have my mind set on a cheap RIB for spearfishing. I also wanted a center console for ease and comfort of steering. I want at minimum a 16ft RIB. The prices are very high even on used RIBs. RIBs without a center console are more reasonably priced. A center console has the disadvantage that it takes up a lot of space in a small boat. A few days ago I saw a pic of the unihelm for the first on a used RIB for sale. I really liked the idea and did some more searching and found these pics.
I'm thinking of buying a basic RIB and adding the unihelm to it. I haven't been able to price the unihelm yet. If someone knows more about it, cost, ease of installation, advantages, disadvantages please let me know what you think. It seems to me from the pics that it's part of the seat framework. I wanted to have a cooler as a seat but even if not it's still a good clean setup.
This is a very small boat, maybe less than 10ft.
