Allot of fitting out work with nice wood, but it's been heavily customised with the multilevel stacked cabins, practical..(but reminds me of Immorten Joe's car.. ) The rudder setup looks like a custom one. It's always a bit risky to customise too far from the design.
The original Roberts 25 TS's are a bit easier on the eye, pilot-house and the coach-roof versions
I love that statement “ no previous boat building experience required”. (famous last words)
Yes I agree Andrew looks top heavy and the original is a nice looking boat even the pilot house version looks good.
A boat has to look right and that’s what attracted me to the Investigator. Some t/s look like floating caravans.
