i get into the idea of buying a pilot house for the same reason every winter. but when i really start to think about it, I back off, as I really love run & gun, spring and fall fishing, as well as casting plugs close to structure. Those things are so tough in anything but a center console. I spent a lot of time this past season fishing in a 33ft grady express. What a great boat. mostly offshore, but some inshore too. inshore, anything besides bottom fishing or trolling really sucked. even pogie fishing was annoying, because you don't have 360 degree access to throw at the schools. once you have pogies it is fine. but the lure of the cabin is super strong. so I know where you are coming from. I have always leaned towards the parker.
A boat like the one Sandman used to have, mirage 32, is best of both worlds... but $$$
