I was batting around the pilothouse idea too, it would really be nice up here in the N.E. for fall & spring. I like the maritime skiff look.
So I talked to the owner and he was a super nice guy.The pilothouse option is pretty pricey, but I got to the point where he was considering selling the raw plug out of the mold. The problem is that it is too wide, wouldn't have fit right.
