Hello.

One of our biggest critics is my wife. I don’t mean that in a bad sense.  She is the one that has to find the money to fuel my passion, so when I make a decision to fit 4 Biscaya seats to our next vessel, she suggested my ego was getting the better of me.  However, after the first trial she announced that the best feature of the vessel was the  Ullman seats.
 
I would endorse that statement, I can drive the vessel at least 10knots faster in a given sea state, for a lot longer than I could with any other conventional suspension seat.  No problems - and I’m an old fart sharing the passion.
 
Cheers,

Good Morning Mr. Ullman,

I am very much impressed with the quality of workmanship and the materials of your product.
It is quite obvious that a lot of time and effort went into the research and development of your product.

Hi!

On behalf the Coast Guard I would like to forward some feedback from the operators of the new ALUSAFE-1050 IKV FPRC.
The boat has been used in rescue, police and customs operations etc....
So far all experience of the boat is only positive.
The boat feels really solid and handles very well in high sea states.
The new Ullman Atlantic Seats so far are a great success.
With boat controls, joystick and plotter controls integrated, the MMI is optimized. This is really good!

Best Regards

Dear Johan,
Lorne Campbell, Jeremy Watts (owner of Ice Marine - Bladerunner manufacturers) and I have just returned from Hawai'i, where we have ridden the Mosquito RIB and experienced your seats for the first time.

I would just like to pass on our congratulations to you on a fantastic design. We (and all at Navatek) are very impressed by the seats performance. I actually took a while to 'trust' the seat and let it do some of the work, rather than take all of the forces on my legs, as I would normally do when the conditions are rough!

When I did though I was extremely impressed.
Lorne would like to pass on his congratulations and best wishes also.

Best regards,

John

Hello Ullmans!

Happy New Year.
I have now tested my new Bisacya seats. I am more than pleased and look very much forward to really start using them, as the season starts.

My knees are bad and I spend 6 to 8 hours boating every day in the summer half of the year. Already now, after 10 hours of test driving, I realize that these setas are extremely good and save my knees to an incredble extent.
They also give the boat really professional look.

Morten.

ULLMAN SEATING

Can someone bring me up to speed on Ullman seating? :-)

Lostboy 24 October 2006, 16:34
In what respect? I have just done a quick Google and found details on the Tornado site (amongst others). There's some good pdf's to download from there. They are certainly a sexy looking bit of kit (not good for storage though!).

Andy Moore 24 October 2006, 16:41
Yes, I found the Tornado site too. I would imagine the ride dampening effect -assuming it works well- would really come into its own on a RIB. I wonder what they retail for?

http://www.ullmandynamics.com/. I have used them for 650 hours now. Will absolutely mount it again when changing boat. Almost all the charter ribs here in the Oslofjord use them.

£1500 to £2000 is what i heard - each!!!

Cod, think about it, four Ullman's in your boat... that confused sea would not be so confused....

Limey Linda 25 October 2006, 02:58
It would make life easier but maybe it can isolate you a bit too much from what is really going on? With those seats you may not realise what sort of a hammering the poor boat is taking. Before long engine mounts start to fail etc etc.

codprawn 25 October 2006, 03:02
Ullman seats are a bunch of hoopla. Fancy stuff only affordable by the pussy military etc. That's what your legs are for.

Hi, Like RibRoy we mounted Ullmans in our 9,5 Tornado, We now have 370 hours on them and in my next boat I will buy new ones. Not only are they good when sitting down, but like many of you, I like to stand while driving in rough seas, and then the Ullmans are unloaded and they come up quite high so you get good support between your thighs. I rode an 8,5 Tornado with original jockeys the other day and I felt like I was thrown out of the boat. So I would go for the Ullman chairs. Roy
