Hi guys, I now have a Pilot 20’ this model has a keel and mounting pad glassed in from manafacture. I am trying to find an article that was sent in by someone who had to have alterations made to the transom angle, I think it was to do with mounting a larger engine, but the transom angle was altered to suit the engine ?
Can anyone direct me to this particular subject?
I have looked through the last 3 years to no avail.
Thanks for reading,
Steve Hogwood. ZOOT.

Hi Derek,

Yes, they are the same. The Pilot 20 is a Hardy Family Pilot, and the next boat size up from the Navigator 18.

There is however as you may have discovered, a 'River Pilot'. This is slightly different from the standard Family Pilot, in that it was aimed at river usage, and has a set of doors to the wheelhouse. The construction, I believe was also sightly different, but they have been used at sea as well, though that was not their target usage. Minds greater than mine will be able to give you more information on any structural differences here, or you will find more information on this forum.

The Family Pilot 20 is a lovely boat to own if you are considering one.

Clive
