Add-on premade pilothouse?

I've got a 21' Seahunt, interested in converting it from a center-console to a pilothouse (much like the 21' Parker Sport Cabin). Anyone ever heard of or seen a company that makes a premade pilothouse that can be fitted to a hull?

Or what would be the best way to make a pilothouse for it?

I think that you are going to have to get creative. Which is going to involve an awful lot of measuring, lofting, groaning. and trial and error. You are asking/hoping that someone has anticipated a very small number of boat owners wanting such an item and saying "Aha" there is a market niche that I can fill and make my fortune. I am afraid you might have to "do it yourself".

I go along with Ssor that finding a cabin to fit your needs are probably nill to none. The chances of you building one to your liking is not as far fetched as years ago. Online information is readily available to help any novice builder create a finished product that he can be very proud off.
If you do decide to build. Take time to make a list of all expectations you need from this pilot house and come back to this list. There are several builders on this list that can walk you right through the project. Remember a well thought out project usually ends up being the best looking finish product.
