Several Invincible Boats models are available with Roswell Marine's Rise system, including 35-, 37-, 40-, and 46-foot catamarans, and 39- and 43-foot monohulls.

The Rise Telescoping Helm System from Roswell Marine improves comfort, sightlines, and ergonomics onboard boats in rough seas by raising and lowering the helm and (optional) seats. When trolling spreads are used, anglers can also observe baits from elevated positions, and the captain can maneuver on a big fish from these positions.

Lift height for the helm is 11.5 inches and lift height for the helm-seat is 5.75 inches. Within these ranges, users can select any height.

Rise, which is currently exclusive to Invincible Boats, utilizes a telescoping system with motors to handle heavy lifting and lowering. Either the telescoping helm or helm seat can be ordered separately, or both can be specified.

Roswell Marine CEO Robert Oswell, inventor of the Rise system, says that, even though the company used telescoping technologies it had previously patented, careful vetting was still required aboard their 37-foot catamaran Invincible.

There are two switches on the control pod near the helm seat that are used to adjust the system.

“Over the course of two years, our team validated the system's function by running it extensively off the Florida coast and in the Bahamas in tough conditions. According to him, boaters will be able to control all of the helm controls from seated position, with 360-degree sightlines, no matter what the weather may be like.
