I am now starting to look for a 365 and would like to see if someone in the Maryland area has a pilothouse that I might be able to look at just to see if it will be better for me than the non-PH version. I do not see any for sale around here but am looking at the 365s in Annapolis and Rock Hall starting Saturday.
There is this one listed in Annapolis

In one picture the dinette and nav station have been removed. Hopefully not a permanent situation.
Thanks, but YachtWorld has that one as pending so I did not want to intrude. I like the fact the PH can allow you to sail it out of the weather but maybe I have to head north to see one since most seem to be in cold climes.
We bought Journey after it was "pending", then the deal fell through. It happens all the time. You might want to talk to the broker and ask him to call you if the deal falls through.

There was a Pilothouse that hailed from Rockland owned by Brian Coffay from Georgetown. I don't know if that's current information, but you could look him up.
I wouldn't hesitate calling the broker at least, he/she may try to find you another one.
Yes it is nice being out of the weather, I am inside more for motoring than sailing, but have sailed from inside on occasion.
I bought Heron in the fall in Annapolis, and yes, a previous owner had taken out the settees and table. The nav table is still in place. We are restoring Heron, and she will soon have new settees and dinette table. If anyone has any tips on what works and doesn't work with Shaw's original plans for this, please let me know. I have heard that it is "tight" sliding into the settee, so I am considering minor alterations, such as a leaf in the table when we want a smaller surface area.
We are taking Heron on a grand adventure in 2015, the Great Loop. Meanwhile, she needs attention everywhere. Fun project.
You are welcome to come see Heron. She is not for sale, but you can get an idea of her great design. She is in the midst of a refit, on Gibson Island, Maryland. 1980 Pearson Pilothouse, hull #26.

If you head north to Boston, I will be happy to show you "Springtide", my 1980 Pilothouse, hull #5.

I always thought the sliding dinette was a great feature. I know it has to be "in" for engine access, but it also opens up the cabin. The original had a leaf on the table that folded on the port side. The table would open up to accommodate four when pulled out, and then drop to make a bunk.
I have tried to compile a list of Pearson Pilothouses, hull's 25 and 27 are both "here" on Lake Superior. I've got hull 17 and we've owned it for 22 years so I've touched almost everything on it.
