I'm looking for an engineer or designer with expertise in marine equipment to create a suspension seat that prioritizes comfort for use in a recreational boating.
- **Purpose:**
- Design a suspension base application specifically to increase comfort for users. This will allow single seats or can be used for bench seat applications
- **Specifications:**
- Must fit in a recreational motorboat
- Need to accommodate a wide range of user weights (60kg to 120kg)
- Must have adjustable features
Possible ideas to include
- Resevoir type suspension
- Adjustable shock/spring type
- Consideration for harsh marine environment
- Ease of use to adjust with simple configuration
- **Ideal Candidate:**
- Experience in marine design/engineering
- Knowledge of ergonomic furniture, ideally marine seating
- Ability to work with various materials suitable for marine environments
- Can create detailed specifications and prototypes
- **Deliverables:**
- Concept sketches/mock-ups
- Detailed design plans
- Material and components list
- Manufacturers or suppliers sourcing (if possible)
Please provide your portfolio with similar projects and an estimated timeline for completion. I'm looking forward to working with someone passionate about combining comfort with the sea-faring lifestyle.
There are a number of companies that currently build these below, I am looking for a simple, well priced option that is more available to the general market. Will possibly look at a base model and a higher end option
