March 23, 24, 25 and 26 We crossed Mobile Bay and stopped at Dog River Marina
Mobile bay was unbelievably rough. One can see from a map that it is a huge bay and the wind was blowing from the south at over 30 knots, gusting over 40. When we turned west into the channel going to Dog River, it rolled the boat unmercile…

Pilothouse for FPB 64
I was wondering what the possibilities of placing a Pilothouse like the one on the FBP 112 on the FBP 64? Placing it forward in line with the lower house windows and then having a “porch” on the aft section.
