Hi all
just an update, lifted Mirandis for survey, all ok, so am now owner of Top Hat. Being road freighted to Mackay monday 30th June.
Lifting mast: Get a crane, its so simple with crane took about half hour with no mast falling or blowing in the wind and NO shouting.Crane hire $95
Question the debate over what is a Mk 1, 11 or 111. My boat is registered 1985, and listed as MkII, however my understanding is that MkII stopped in 1982/3 and since then are all MkIII, can anyone tell me, is there a register somewhere listing the Top Hat's manufactured or maybe the manufactures? I have looked for them in phone book?? Picture of boat is on the web page.

Hi Again
If this is the one that ws for sale at Manly this is definitely a MK II> I
have been on this one previously when I was shopping around. I think it has
a 9.9hp Honda with a lifting gantry. Is this the same one?
Regards
Paul Sinclair

Thanks paul
Yes it is the same boat.
It was listed as MkII, it was only after i read up about manufacturer dates I thought it might be a Mk III. 2 years between making and registering seems a long time.
