This was a gun boat in JOGs 40 years ago, she has a longer stern than your standard tophat, many locals will know her as the navy blue boat that sat on the DSS slip for many years as they couldn't keep her in the water due to electrololis.
way over priced IMO.

This was not and never was a TOP HAT.

The builder used a copy of the Top Hat plans and dramatically altered them in every way.

I've had discussions with the person interested in this ??? yacht and have assured him that the present owner cannot claim it is a Top Hat.

The Top Hat Group dose not see this yacht as a Top Hat also.
