1987 1987 Tollycraft Pilothouse

Step aboard and you’ll notice how easy this hull is to move around on—wide side decks, solid railings, and a proper Portuguese bridge that keeps crew secure when the weather pipes up. The pilothouse itself offers great sightlines and a real “captain’s room” feel, with space for a watch keeper to stretch out on long passages. Below, the separate staterooms give everyone privacy, and the generous storage lets you stock up for weeks, not days. A roomy cockpit makes line handling, crabbing, or just lowering the tender a relaxed affair. This is a boat built when fiberglass was thick, joinery was substantial, and cruising comfort mattered more than fashion.

A Tollycraft pilothouse of this size is tailor‑made for waters where conditions can change quickly and passages mix tight channels with open stretches. The raised helm keeps you out of the spray but still in touch with what’s happening on deck, while the substantial hull form delivers a reassuring ride when afternoon winds kick up a chop. Shallow enough to work into protected coves yet capable of steady offshore runs, it suits both weekend hops and extended coastal cruising. Generous tankage, dependable power, and real all‑weather living spaces make this model a smart choice for a seasoned crew that wants range, comfort, and security.
