Having owned sailboats with inside steering stations for a long time I have come to the conclusion that, like Bob has said, it is mainly semantics. "Motorsailor" had a stigma to it that builders wanted to get away from when they designed a new boat with inside steering, so they called it a "Pilothouse". That apparently didn't quite give them the distance they were looking for so the newer designs are now "Deck Salons". Whatever. I refer to my Brewer as a pilothouse because that's what Ted called it and it's generally understood by everyone that that means a sailboat with inside steering.
