Pilot House 20

Product catalog summary

Construction: The hull, deck, and ancillary mouldings of the Pilot House 20 are constructed using hand lay-up GRP with isophthalic resin for the hull. The hull is reinforced below the waterline with bonded-in bulkheads and longitudinal stringers. The cabin and cockpit are GRP modules bonded into the hull for increased rigidity. The deck moulding features complex core stiffening and is both bonded and mechanically fastened to the hull.

Specifications: The Pilot House 20 has a length overall (LOA) of 19’6” (5.95m), a beam of 7’10” (2.4m), and a hull weight of 2030 lbs (925 kg). It supports a maximum of 80hp for long shaft outboard engines and offers a 130 hp inboard diesel sterndrive option. The maximum design speed is 23 knots, with an optimum speed of 15 knots. Performance varies with engine power: 30 hp achieves 12 knots, 60 hp reaches 18 knots, and 80 hp attains 23 knots.

Design and Features: The Pilot House 20 is derived from the Day Angler 19+ and is popular among cruisers and fishermen. It offers stability with a generous beam and features a deep forefoot, fine forward sections, and a moderate V aft for a dry, comfortable ride. The cockpit is fully moulded, self-draining, and includes high coamings and wide side decks for safety. The wheelhouse provides excellent visibility with a forward-facing helm and co-pilot seat.

Key Points: The boat includes a lockable wheelhouse, spacious self-draining cockpit, high cockpit coamings, wide side decks, and options for outboard or diesel stern drive. It is available with Day Angler and Valiant cruising packages.

Standard Equipment: The deck equipment includes stainless steel bow roller, mooring cleats, handrails, and a heavy-duty PVC fendering. The cockpit features non-slip surfaces, self-draining scuppers, and storage lockers. The wheelhouse has a lockable door, tinted windows, and seating with storage. The forward accommodation includes upholstered cushions and optional toilet space.

Engine Options: The outboard engine version supports up to 80hp, while the diesel sterndrive version includes a 130hp Mercruiser engine with a sound-deadened compartment and a 30-gallon fuel tank.

Packages: The Day Angler package includes essential fishing equipment, while the Valiant package offers premium fittings and additional comforts such as a deluxe galley, premium upholstery, and teak flooring.
