The Pilot 20 was designed by Mark Ellis for Holby Marine Company to compliment the Bristol Skiff line of boats that Holby Marine Company produces. The Pilot 20 is a practical utility boat that looks "right in New England waters, is quick to plane even under heavy loads, and is soft riding and dry in a sea", says Mark Ellis. With as little as 135 HP the Pilot 20 is able to approach speeds in excess of 40 mph even in a nasty chop with a twenty knot breeze blowing, all the while keeping the crew dry and comfortable. For all who have seen the Pilot 20, they agree that it is marked by a sense of pleasing proportion, and straight out good looks. The Pilot 20 is built using a resin infusion process and is the best built 20 foot boat on the market today. Complementing the rugged construction of the Pilot 20 is her traditional styling. Similar in appearance to the traditional Down east style she is at home in any circumstance. Whether it be cruising Narragansett Bay with family, striper fishing the rocky cost of Maine, or enjoying a beautiful day cruising the inter-coastal the Pilot 20 is at home anywhere. A versatile boat suited for any job with classic good looks and rugged durability. To learn more about which Pilot 20 best fits your needs, contact Sound Boatworks
