Nick, from Vision X-Global Lighting Systems http://visionxusa.com/, picked up this 20' Pilot last Friday. We are looking forward to seeing how many and what type of lights get installed on this boat. I suggested he name the boat...Got A Light? Glen

Hey Glen,

Great photos and builds. Do you (or any current owners) have any videos of SS pilots in rough water? I would love to see how they handle in big water.

Thanks

AKBudde,
I wish I did, here's a couple stills. (Those are really hard pictures to get, as you almost need another boat out at the same time.) If you call me, I will give you names of customers using their boats in open water that you can talk to. Glen 206-722-8998

Really enjoy these threads, thanks Glen.

Couldn't help but notice the OB variety and so I'll ask: Etec's have a good rep in your area? On the forums down here, the mention of Etec draws hisses. Interesting since you'd be hard pressed to find those few intermixed with the complaints about the more popular brands numbering in the dozens. You are the man who would know so go to as good a source as one knows and that is you Sir!

Hey Dawg:
I've been running an etec 150 since 04, and it kicks butt!

Mike, We really havn't had problems with E-Tec's and we sell quite a few of them. We sell all five major brands and will use whatever the customer wants. If you have a specific question, I would be glad to try to answer them. You can also call me if you would like. 206-722-8998. Glen

Three more Pilots and one Super Sport Drifter, from left: 26' Pilot to going Oregon, 23' Super Sport Drifter Inboard going to Idaho, 26' Pilot going all around the northwest. Note the tall radar box to clear kayaks mounted on roof racks and the 23' Pilot is local. Glen

Looking Great Glen. Business must be good! How many boats do you think you will complete this calendar year, and how does that stack up against years past?

Mike, Business is good. I haven't looked at the number of boats, but it will be about 100. Boat numbers are misleading, as a 29' Pilot with lots of stuff is just one boat in the same amount of time we could build 10 simple 17' OB jet boats. Glen

Some detail pictures of the 23' Pilot going through. Glen

Inside transom shot.



2nd. helm: Fly-by-wire controls plus controls for remote kicker.



Shore power.



Loaded dash.

[glen wooldridge]

The next two pilots being rigged. I like the name Bill picked for his boat. Glen

[glen wooldridge]

Ran Paul's boat yesterday. Notice the tall radar mount. Paul is going to mount a kayak on each side of the roof. That's why the radar is higher than normal. Glen

Todd at Portland Marine Electronics picked up this 26' Pilothouse on Friday.
The boat is available for viewing at Portland Marine Electronics. They will be hanging the motors and installing electronics. Check out their website: http://portlandmarineelectronics.com/. They are known for their knowledge and expertise in marine electronics installation and are also a Wooldridge Boats dealer in the Portland, Oregon area. Glen
