Trumpy Yachts

Nice photos.

What a stately yacht that Enticer is. I would like to see image #10 of here posted here.

Just looking back thru this subject thread and came across this beauty again

Kudo's to the guys that spend the money to keep these beauty's afloat.

Built by Whiticar?

Odd but true - she's "Elegante" - a 1964 "Trumpy" (NOT!) 61/63' built by Whiticar (Hull #31) hailing out of Naples, FL :
Motor Yacht Elegante Sale - YouTube
With her special Whiticar SF hull design and twin DDs (700hp each), captain claims 20 knots cruise, 24 tops - who believes this?
In any case, she definitely sports the Trumpy "T" upfront (UPSIDE DOWN) and looks rather grand, so whoze 2 question, eh?
CHeers!

The scrolls look like they're upside down.

Closer Look

Best photo of "Elegante's" "T" - isnt that correct?
(mite just be a whiticar - dammit!)
Photo 3 - Authentic "T" (not "Elegante").

Here is the real deal.

Cheaters,...

..., my bad (got dazzled -dammit!)

She is a whiticar, built as APHRODITE for Jock Whitney to replace his famous torpedo stern Purdy.

She has her own site, spoke with a captain this summer in Chicago.

Illegal,...

..., no?
It is a Trumpy "T" - UPSIDE DOWN.
Emailed captain - let's see if he 'fesses up.
Cheers!

Photo 10 of the Enticer

Here it is. ummm was replying to brian eiland of Post #202.

Hi, I am new to the forum, I bought the Elsie Fenimore/ U.S.S. John M. Howard IX-75/ Now the Kick Back, about a year and a half ago, and restoring her. I should be painting next month, weather providing, and I am wondering if it is ok to put the T on her. I was reading in the forum for the answer, and did some research and found a photo on a magazine cover dated 1919, of a Trumpy that Has the T on it, so I think my 1934 could use a T. Can someone let me know if it is OK to put it on please? Here is a picture of my boat next to the magazine photo, I think mine would look fine with a T, I just don't want to do anything out of Character!

I need a set, once I find out if it is ok to put it on my boat! Let me know if they want to sell them. Thanks.

Yes thanks very much....she is beautiful !!
