The RIB was initially built constructed with the two double rear jockey seats installed bolted into place by 4 bolts, with captive nuts built into the hull. This was requested by the original buyer to allow these seats to be removed in order to provide a completely open rear deck or the possibility of replacing the seats with other fittings, such as holding dive equipment.
