Boat Overview
‘Pop Watts’ is a classic example of a Rampart 32 motor cruiser, designed by the British boat building company Rampart Motor Yachts in 1962. She has been lovingly looked after and cherished by her owners and is now ready to embark on her next journey. Regarded as a ‘gentleman’s motor yacht’, this beautifully crafted Rampart 32 is packed with historical importance and will certainly make heads turn for anyone looking for a classic traditional motor cruiser.
History
Throughout her lifetime, ‘Pop Watts’ has been kept by two families. The first family owned her for a remarkable 50 years, passing her down through three generations. This is an amazing achievement. She has been thoroughly restored with a brand new Ford diesel engine and gearbox. ‘Pops’ not only has her original build certificate but has also undergone a rigorous maintenance plan over the last three years with her current owners, with all works well documented for review.
