I heard that an option on early series was a removeable top that could do double duty as a boat. Yes/no?

Saw a u-tube video where a couple of guys punted around in a LR top, but was curious if a top was ever optioned for use as a boat?

Sounds like a very British idea.
So it must be fact, possibly.
