Wooldridge Pilothouse's under construction photos

We are building the "Late Bite" for John and Sheila. (They are retired. This is their 3rd. Wooldridge Boat.) Glen

Do you all know which boats you will bring to the Seattle boat show? I'd really like to see a 23 pilot house with the gull wing door. I'd like to figure out if my old man could get on board from the beach, over the bow.

Thanks,
Mike

At the Seattle Boat Show, there will be a 23' Pilot and a couple of Outboard Jet boats. They will be in the West Coast Marine booth #56. This 23' does not have a Gull-Wing door.. The best place to check out our boats is at our shop. We can show you a lot more here, as we have boats in all stages of construction. We have a 24' in rigging, which has a Gull-Wing door. ("Late Bite"). Also, a 24' & 26" under construction.
Our address is:
1303 South 96th. St.
Seattle, WA 98108.
It's about 15 minutes from the boat show. Our office hours are 7:30am-4pm, m-f.


These are the two Pilots under construction. 3rd boat is the landing craft boat.



This is the 24' Pilot, (Late Bite") that has a Gull-Wing door in the rigging area. Glen

Here's a 24' Pilot and a 26' Pilot. Both are getting close to going out the door soon.



Here's another 24' Pilot that just got painted. (There's three other Pilot's in the welding area right now). Glen

Michael Koenen, punter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked up his 23' Pilot the other day. Glen

Three 26' Pilot's in the welding process, material off to the right is for a 32' Pilot.


Another view of the three 26's.


Here's a custom 23' Pilot based on the 20' Pilot that is narrower. The narrower version was chosen for overseas shipping costs. Glen

very beautiful layout

I like the way you guys think on these smaller craft......really pack a lot into an 8'-6" x 23' pocket

What AlloyToy said!

Since first discovering this site, I still marvel over the artwork that Wooldridge creates with its boats.

[glen wooldridge]

The next Pilot starting is 32' x 9' 11" Glen

[dawgaholic]

32' x 119"? That's a big one for y'all isn't it? Commercial or is somebody wanting a 32' alloy yacht style cruising vessel? Not living near boating water doesn't allow me to conceptualize boat sizes like most everyone else here so I go outside and stepped off the footage along the length of my home. That is a BIG BOAT! The three of us could live comfortably in it, lol! Will be keen to follow this build as I do all that are shared, thanks Glen!

[PropNut]

That will be on heck of a great PWS boat!! Is that one coming up to Alaska? Love to check it out in person. What is it going to be powered with?

[glen wooldridge]

It's a private party boat with twin 250's that's going to Anchorage, AK and is going to be used in PWS (Prince William Sound). Glen

Is this new one your biggest pilot house to date?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, 32 feet is the biggest Pilothouse to date, but not the biggest boat. The biggest boat was 42 feet. Glen

What would be the cost for a 23 outfitted and rigged like this one including galv or alum trailer? You can PM me if you want.

The cost of a new boat is like the cost of a new truck. It depends on how many toys are on the boat.

Looks like a well thought out boat, and priced about where the market is.

Is there a good or bad reason not have the windows cut by the computer during lofting?
