Maritime Model 20 Pioneer - Now available as The Hardtop & The Express

The Hardtop   Read about The Express here

The Pioneer center cabin model combines all the benefits of a center console with the convenience of a full cabin. You can walk around the cabin without having to take one or two steps up to the side deck.

Photo - Pioneer 20 police boat The cabin door locks and has 4' 8" headroom. There is provision for a Porta-Potti, and with the optional Bunk Cushion Set the cabin forms an ideal 50" by 60" child berth.

The Pioneer Hardtop has an aerodynamic windshield/roof design that reduces trailering windage and boat heeling from cross winds. Headroom under the roof is 6' 4".

With a draft of only 12", the Pioneer can comfortably fish the flats while fully capable of ranging offshore. Range with its 29-gallon tank is in excess of 150 miles when powered with modern two or four-stroke outboard motors from 90 to 115 HP.

20 Pioneer, a great way to get out of the elements.

The Pioneer Express

The Pioneer Express shares the same console base as the Hardtop version. There is a small ledge forward of the windshield; ideal for mounting Radio & GPS antennas as shown in the left photo or "T" top legs shown in the right photo. The side rails and midship cleats are a nice option. Trailered bridge clearance of the Pioneer is 9' 6", with a "T"-Top.


The console front seat is standard on the Pioneer models. Seat & bow platform cushions shown here in pleated grey are options.


Good views of the bridge cover, leaning post cover, and bow dodger; all in "Navy". Picture also shows the trim tabs offered on all models.
Photo at left shows a GPS/Plotter mounted in the dash, and a flush mounted radio to the right of the steering wheel. Midships 8" cleats are very helpful when tying up alongside docks. This view is of a pre-2005 model with the narrow side decks, but is still utilized to show the amount of deck space aft of the leaning post.
