Sorry...ANOTHER SKIPJACK PILOTHOUSE THREAD...

[Alan]

Looks great I got rid of my 20 a year ago and now have the 25. What a difference with the enclosed area. Also the new boat has a heater off the volvo and it makes a world of difference on the cooler days.

Look forward to seeing the final product. Congrats.

Yep...I ((((HATE)))) SPRAY and F-ing freezing in the winter. The only problem Ive encountered is how stagnant the PH gets without windows that slide open. Going to add a couple med. profile glass hatches to the top when I can muster up some more cash. The Girlfriend wants a ring and BLAH BLAH BLAH...
She says I need to get my priorities straight but my 24Skippy got-sta get finished. What more could she want-I installed a toilet for her.

Hahahah, classic! I gots to say, I like what ya did to that old thang! Whats the total tally, if you don't mind me asking?

pushing 25 w/electronics but im adding another three for the raymarine auto pilot and hydraulic steering going in as we speak

On my old pilothouse it had solid windows and it had auto aftermarket t-top, worked okay but would have liked hatch like openning to catch some breeze. I also mounted as many of my electronics overhead, it seemed to be easier to drive and look up than down. You are also going to get more noise/echo so you may have to upgrade your sound deadening in your engine box.

Hope it brings you alot of fun!!!!!!!!
