Wooldridge Pilothouse's under construction photos
Re: Wooldridge Pilothouse's under construction photos
Glen, in the brochure of the 26' SS pilothouse with the fishing machine and pilot packages, the weight totals ~4400#. With the bracket, the LOA is ~28'3", correct? North River lists their 26' OS at 5500#. Can you explain the 1100# weight difference? I like that you build your smaller boats with .190"/.160" material, and wish other builders did the same.

My office assistant posted 3 more pics yesterday, but I was out of the office. I will reply to this question on your topic/thread about structure.

Re: Wooldridge Pilothouse's under construction photos
This 23' Pilot is being custom made for the customer's specific fishing techniques and boating needs.
There's no rear wall; it has a canvas drop down curtain instead. The rear helm is on the port side and the cabin is raised an extra 4" because he's extra tall.
Unique Boat! WB

Re: Wooldridge Pilothouse's under construction photos
I am delivering Andy’s boat to the shipper today. My dad Bob volunteered to take it. (He will be 90 years old this November.) I said “Thanks Dad. Why don’t you come with me?”
Grant ran it again yesterday with some of the guys from the shop who worked on it.
When we first ran it with one motor, it hit 34mph. Here are the numbers from yesterday with 9 guys, gas and gear. Glen

Re: Wooldridge Pilothouse's under construction photos
regarding the 23 pilot, what is the reason for the rear helm being on the port side?

Re: Wooldridge Pilothouse's under construction photos
The helm in the cabin is on the starboard side. The rear helm is on the port side. The customer wanted it that way because he fishes a lot by himself. He holds the rod with his left hand and uses his right to steer and run the controls. Glendeepfry wrote:regarding the 23 pilot, what is the reason for the rear helm being on the port side?

Re: Wooldridge Pilothouse's under construction photos
I am a HUGE fan of the Evinrude G2. I am a Mechanical Engineer and am looking forward to finding out how this new design holds up after a few years. The "G1 Etechs had a few issues for the first few years. Hoping that is not the same case for the G2. Hoping that they will next come out with a G2 in the 75 to 100 hp range next. Funds reserved!
