Research 2015 - Wooldridge Boats - 26- SS Pilothouse

Folks don't look just once at the Wooldridge 23' Super Sport Offshore Pilothouse. They look and then look again and again. There's lots to see and admire in this Wooldridge and it takes more than a single glance to recognize just how cleverly Glen and Grant Wooldridge tucked big boat features into this 23-footer.
It is obvious at first glance that this boat is made for the open water. The deep V forward (40 degrees deadrise) is ready to break up the offshore chop and the impressive V continues through the planing surface (18 degrees deadrise) for a combination of ride and stability that pleases. The beefy offshore bracket with a displacement box further enhances the exceptional ride and stability. This 23' Pilothouse is equally at home with single or dual outboards. And the combination of length and beam (8 1/2') create a boaters package that's user friendly on the road and on the waterways. Minimal fuel consumption with optimum performance is the Wooldridge way and once again it is emphasized in this 23' SS Pilothouse. Fact is, it's hard to believe this 23-footer is so user-friendly when it comes to power (on the transom and in the tow vehicle) and at the fuel pump. Go more and spend less!
You can outfit this Wooldridge Super Sport Offshore Pilothouse with everything including the kitchen sink. Visibility is excellent in the all welded pilothouse cabin (three-panel, reverse angle windshield with panagraph wipers). There is plenty of room in the cuddy for comfortable sleeping and lounging. Windows are Diamond Sea Glaze and they're sliders in the cuddy and main cabin. Check out the forward walk-around, bow rails, huge transom fish box, locking rod locker doors and 100 gallon fuel tank, standard. Of course steering is hydraulic.
When it comes to options, the full pilothouse package is the most popular. It includes the 3' wide dinette with flip-flop backrest which makes into bed (7'-plus), large cabinet with built-in electric fridge, diesel stove/heater, and freshwater sink with electric pump. Of course there's more, custom tailored to individual wants and needs: private stand-up head, transom door, radar, full electronics, pot pullers, ¦you name it. Of course, this boat is all-welded aluminum and carries a lifetime limited hull warranty to the original buyer. The Wooldridge 23' SS Offshore Pilothouse is a boat ready to create great times on the water!
26' SS Pilothouse: "Angler's Choice!"
Wooldridge Boats 26' SS Pilothouse is a fishing boat. Yes, of course it's a great cruiser as well. And, it does offer the many comforts of home. But first and foremost it fishes. It's the choice of folks who range far and wide, by water and land to get at the best of fishing and cruising.
The mobility of the Wooldridge 26' Pilot is significant for many. It's a size that's comfortable to tow, on the short and long haul, and yet it's big enough to make those long jaunts on the water, whether it's across a big lake or for lengthy trips north.
This boat has the credentials for those open water cruises, measuring just over 26' before you figure in the beefy offshore bracket (which includes a displacement box) that welcomes single or dual outboard power.
The 8 1/2' beam means its easy business to put on the Ferry and park in a tight slip. There's plenty of freeboard for blustery waters and a beamy Deep "V" with 40 degree deadrise in the bow and 18 degrees through the planing surface to smooth out the ride.
The offshore hull is engineered for optimum strength with minimum weight. That makes it lighter for towing and enhances on-the-water performance with modest outboard power. That means less fuel burned and more money for fishing and cruising accessories and vacations on the water.
The all-welded pilothouse cabin features a three-panel, reverse angle windshield with panagraph wipers, sliding side windows (all Diamond Sea Glaze) in the cabin and cuddy. There's lots of room in the cuddy for sleeping.
The rear deck offers abundant fishing room and the toe kick assures comfort at the rails on those long days working the fishing gear. There's a forward walk-around, bow rails, huge transom fish box, locking rod locker doors and 100 gallon fuel tank, standard. Of course the steering is hydraulic.
The most popular option is the full pilothouse cabin package which includes the 3' wide dinette with flip-flop backrest which makes into a bed (7 1/2'), large cabinet with built-in electric fridge, diesel stove/heater, and freshwater sink with electric pump. Also available: full cuddy upholstery, private stand-up head, transom door, radar and full electronics to suit.
The Fishing Machine option adds more fuel capacity, additional under-floor fish boxes and self-bailing rear deck. A second helm aft is easily added as are many other options designed and available to suit your specific fishing and boating needs.
