Capt. Brian,

It has AC, it is called Chatham Fog !! I have a Volvo Penta Heater that I may need even in the summer up here. The Engine is a VP D6-350 Jackshafted to a DPH drive with a G4 Propset (I think). Fuel is 150 gallons.

Is that the pilot house out of a shamrock openfish?

Re: Pics of the 27 in Chatham?
 

Yes,

It is a Shamrock Pilot house, I bought it on the side of the road for 400 bucks, it fit perfect. The Shamrock is set up to sit down in, so I had to build a 16" stand around it to be able to stand up. Bill Potter actually e-mailed me a few years back to ask who made it, so it must be OK !!! It is a little difficult to jig from, but the comfort makes up for it.

Thanks for keeping us up to date. Is the engine under the house with a jackshaft?

Dan, If you were to bring that beast to one of
our gatherings, you would also have to bring a box
of towels to wipe all the drool from the deck..
She is beautifull !!!!!!!!!!
See ya, Ken

That is one sweet rig, and I have always loved those shamrock pilothouses on the 20', I am very jealous!
