47 Pilothouse

Pilothouse yachts have long been popular with northern boaters for their weather-protected inside helm. Recent years, however, have seen the popularity of these boats on the increase in warmer climates where many have come to admire the strictly-business appearance of a raised pilothouse design as well as her all-weather cruising capabilities. The Sea Ranger 47 was built on a solid fiberglass semi-displacement hull with a relatively narrow beam, flat aftersections, and a full-length prop-protecting keel. Her three-stateroom interior features a roomy full-width midships master stateroom with direct access to the engine room. Both heads have stall showers, and a staircase in the pilothouse provides inside access to the bridge. Additional features include an on-deck day head (a great cruising convenience), a full teak interior, dinghy storage on the extended flybridge, a radar arch, and teak decks. Twin 135hp Lehman (or 175hp GM 4-53) diesels cruise the Sea Ranger 47 PH efficiently at 7–8 knots and reach a top speed of about 10 knots.
