That ladder is a slick setup!

My next boat is going to have a pod and a dive door, not sure if I'll be getting back into diving but I did have the pleasure of swimming to my boat this summer (not intentional :banghead: ) and realized the benefit of being able to easily re-board from the water. Hint, I wasn't encumbered with wet clothing :scuba:

Does the 30 have through hull transducers or are you going to weld on a bracket to bolt it on like the trim tabs?

Can you post a link to the vacuum system, Glen? What batteries will you be using for the house bank? I really like that rear helm. Nice work. :thumbsup:

Ran the 30' Pilothouse today. It ran great! With an empty boat, it GPS'd at 51mph.

Image

Image

The next boat in the rigging position is a 26' Pilot for the Puget Sound area. Rigging is well underway.

Image

29' Pilot for Alaska is out of the back room and we are pre-prepping it. Glen
