Am I right?? Am I missing any major features?? Also, can anyone recommend a current Motor Sailor/Pilot House manufacturer?? They seem to have what I want for the long term/haul (Aside from getting a cat).

Thanks for everyone's help!!!!

Have you considered a custom designer? The reason why I ask is a designer often has several builders he's worked with with. Some of those builders produce consistently good results wich the designer as really been impressed with. I like the pilothouse designs of Ted Brewer and Dudley Dix.
