This is a very interesting Vessel. Standing in her Pilothouse and looking forward inside, it is amazing the amount of room she has inside. She has twin helm stations (cockpit and pilothouse), great salon and a lot of space. A hearty full keel vessel that will take you anywhere you want to go in comfort.
As you walk up to the vessel, one notices the hull that is molded in the old wood style. Entering her cockpit, she has seating and storage both port and starboard with her helm aft. Her forward deck is flat except for the very forward section. Entering her pilothouse she has a centerline helm and quarter berth on starboard and galley to port. Down a step to her salon she has a settee to port and l-shaped settee to starboard and a table that folds down from the forward bulkhead. Her head is to starboard and she has a v-berth with filler forward.
The Gulf Pilothouse was designed by William Garden and originally built by Gulf Marine Products and later by Capital Yachts. There were 400 vessels built in her production run from 1965-1990.
