I would be motivated to sell the pilot house for the right price. I would like to do another one.

Does anybody have thoughts on the look of having both the pilothouse and the radar arch on together. I am wondering to remove arch and mount rod holders to roof of pilot house. Opinions?

Cool

My own personal preference would be to keep the arch. It provides a super strong place to mount the fishing poles, Radar, boat hook and whatever else you want to put on it. Why take a chance of bouncing poles and whatnot damaging the pilot house? That's an awesome job on the pilot house by the way. Really first class. Would love to have something like that on my V. Well done.

That's some beautiful work. Just dreaming, I'd like to see the back opening gusseted enough to be really strong and stiff against lateral loads (maybe it's already that way since you obviously know what you're doing) and then do a welded rod holder setup and separate brackets for radar and whatever else you want on top. It looks like you pretty much have enough ledge all the way along the sides that it could be a walk-around - if that's true, a rail along the edge of the top would really make it work. One other thing I'd like would be sliding openable side windows - quick and easy comfort adjustment without messing with side curtains. Have I got it up to a $50,000 custom job yet?***129299;

Thumbs up

I'd keep the arch. Boat looks great. If you're thinking of doing another check out the design on Shamrock Mackinaw models, always liked their look.

Sliding would have been nice but the price was crazy.

My fishin buddy got a pair of sliders from a wrecked RV. I don't think he gave much for them - he went scrounging and got lucky I guess.
