Really nice build. I especially like the side door. Does the 26 have a stand up head?, and are those self-bailing decks? Keep the pictures coming.

Most 26' Pilothouses do get the stand-up head option. This particular customer opted out as he wanted additional seating in that location. This boat did have the self-bailing deck but it is hard to see because we have a protective layer over the floor while we work on it.

Here she is as a more refined version of the Pilothouse verses the last photos posted. Check out the new 4-stroke Mercury's. We will be testing this boat soon and are curious to see how these outboards will perform. Stay tuned.

Looks like that boat has an extended transom under those Mercury's. I will be interested to see if that improves performance. Great looking boat!

Grant recently took the Pilothouse out on the lake for a test spin with the new twin Mercury 150's and jotted down these test numbers. Mercury reps were also on hand to observe the results. A PDF with official test results from Mercury will be available soon!
