Default V20 Pilot House??

Another crazy idea of mine......
Has anyone considered building a pilot house on their V20? The main drawbacks are weight, aerodynamics, and it would be hot during the summer. But with a pilothouse you can fish your V year round in the colder months. I was thinking either a rollup clear curtain or removable windows for ventilation. It would have to be constructed of light composite core materials. Putting a good angle on all three axis of the windshield would help with aerodymanics. Not to mention you gain mounting for rod holders, antenna, etc on the roof. Maybe even a ling tower, i dont mean full on tower i mean the fish spotting thing right on top the roof. (i cant remember the name for it) crows nest? Anyways what do yall think about it? I think the V20 has the lines for it. I was thinking an open back design.
