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;

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.

I hunted high and low for sliding windows, came close on a couple. I wedge the front door open if gets to hot. Would need sliders first and build pilot house around them. As it is the front is the full hight of a 4x8 sheet of aluminum. Also I was trying to find sliders with the slope of the front window. Custom-made windows were around $1,200. I almost sloped the window forward but made problems with the door swing.

Would you consider selling pilot house or detailed plans for one?
Hello,
First time posting or replying I'm pretty new here. Signed up and got real busy at work so have not had a chance to be on much. I have 2 v20's an inboard v8 and a outboard 140 Suzuki. Not as much of a following here in Northern Ca but I do spot others from time to time. Would you be interested in selling the pilot house or detailed plans if you have them? Great looking boat either way I have always wondered what it would look like done right
