A good condition Tophat 25 mk1. This boat was one of the first Formit builds and was built in the northern beaches before they moved to Wyong. Signs suggest Baker may have had input during the ownership change over.
An old engine has been removed and interior clean. Tohatsu 9.8 two stroke ultra long shaft(27inches) on a strong Tenob bracket. This has been working effectively.
The engine has the high thrust propellor.
Good condition top sides have had work since launch date. Original deck and resin topcoat.
Mast steps recently added.
Rigging old but serviced. Electrics 2008, mast step regalvanised.
Currently revamping solar system and changing to house deep cycle batteries.
Some amateur footage at sea on YouTube (Tophat25 John Stokes I think should get you there. )
Situated on a mooring close to the rivermark cafe at Hibbard. (Port Macquarie)
Red sail cover and binimi top.
Boat has just been anti fouled and seacocks checked and lubed. Looking good. Sept 2024
Ring John Stokes or text that number mentioning boat enquiry and I'll ring back preferably before 7pm.
