Pilothouse
Does anyone know of a builder of pilothouses like this one on a 20' Shamrock? Considering replacing the center console with one. I'll be inquiring to both Shamrock and Maratime Skiff to see if they will sell just the house.
Any comments on installing one on a 23'?

Re: Pilothouse
You could try Eastern boats or some of the other down east co.s. I seem to think I have seen this on a couple of diff. models up this way. It does look like it would be pretty slick on your boat. Scotty.

You should be ashamed of yourself [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] A Classic Potter SeaCraft owner without a Classic Potter Pilot House  Seamark Pilot House I'm pretty sure they make a smaller version for the 8' beam boats..

Re: Pilothouse
The one pictured needs something....not exactly sure what, maybe window treatment of some sort? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
I bet the stereo would sound better inside one of those though [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Pilothouse
The 1st Shamrock I ever saw with a piolethouse like that was a 26ftr. I saw it here in Pensacola,fl. They towed it with a Big 'Ol station wagon. I was told that it was Shamrock's 1st piolethouse. This was many years ago.
The potter Pilothouse is kinda weird with the helm to port. I know from experiance that when you squeeze the width of a pilothouse it incroches [sp?] on the size of the helm area. you have to do some real juggling in order to get all of your guages, electronic's in that small area. Most company's will mount the helm on the vertical panel. This free's up space at the helm, but I don't like the way the steering wheel feals. I want it mounted like a sports car and this is what creates the problems, but it feels better in your hands.

Re: Pilothouse
Capt. Chuck,
I asked Don (Hermco) a couple of times if they were interested in building a pilothouse for a 23. Currently they only offer one for boats with a 10' beam. I don't care for the look of that one. Osprey has a nice one too on their 22':   Or Strick could build me one...

Re: Pilothouse
Otto - I got on a maritime skiff 23' w/ the pilot house at the Boston Boat show a little over a year ago. I really liked the functional design. It's not as confining as the shamrock or the osprey. The sides and the back are all removable canvas sections.

Re: Pilothouse
A pilothouse built like this one, could easily be built with Nidacore.
This one is built with Nidacore. It's a wheelhouse that goes on top of a charterboat. I watched it being built.

Re: Pilothouse
Just an observation from time that I have spent on a handful of SeaCraft 23's - if the pilothouse is ANY wider than the existing console, it will mean for a very tight squeeze when walking by it on the outside. In addition, if you keep it to the width of the typical SC23 console, there won't be very much space on the inside for more than one person.
