Would love to see some pilot house pics, factory our fabricated on some smaller boats. I am planning on building one on a boat that is in the mid 20ft range. Wanting some ideas on what it will look like when finished. Thanks.
Go to the C Dory or C Brats web sites for Pilot house boats from 16 to 27 feet in lenght. There are a number of other boats--Sea Sport, Parker, Shamrock, Orcas, etc which are similar sized pilot house boats.

Thanks. Really like the pics and I am going to check out some of the websites posted. This give me a lot of great ideas, hope to incorporate some of these features in my build.
Check out Edencraft Formulas that are being built in Austrailia. The have a cool pilot house that they are incorporating on a 233 hull. I've been thinking about trying to build one on my 233 with a few touches of my own but need to finish the floor and everything else first. Might be next year's project...

Been checking that one out for some time. I really like the layout of the parker posted by theshortanswer. That looks like the typ layout I am sooting for on the type hull I have. I actually have a 67 formula that I have been working on but I am keeping that one as a cuddy, 1967 formula 233 project
This pilot house will be for my next project. I am not very skilled, just the average diy. I know I will not have a boat much bigger than the 233 because I need something I can trailer easily. I thnk something in the 23-28ft range would make a good rig for my needs. I really appreciate all the pictures, hope they kkep coming.
