Ok, I've been researching this stitch and glue thing as well as the idea of a pilot house. Lets face it, I'm too old to keep chasing the blue water. Besides, here in GA that means a 70+ mile trip one way and most if not all my fishing is done within 1/5 miles or the bays. Besides that, the whole reason for the boat is the wife and kids and getting them on the water with me. So with this said, I think I'll be addingthe pilot house to the

8 and I know it'll slow me down a bit but 20+ knotts is just fine for where I take the kids fishing. The more important thing is making them comfortable. Here's a pic I fooled with to get a feel for what I want it to look like, I wan't oppinions, what you guys think of the idea.
