I think she looks good but I must say, spending that much time and money on an outdated wooden hull seems crazy.

Logically their is no boat that makes sense, some more than other, some less than another but we are not dealing with Logic here.
We are dealing with , Brandy , Testosterone and Diesel and that is what makes boating such a interesting hobby.

Would you drive a new Corvette or a 1956/7 one?
Would you drive a new Mustang or a 1967 one?
Or a new Ford blah blah or a '56 Thunderbird?
It is a heart thing, not a head thing
Not a money thing
It is called intrinsic value
They don't make them no more out of wood at Thessen Island
So you can buy them no more
Like Ace Craft!
You can take the name: ACEcraft seaGlider and market a boat as an Ace Glider, but it will NEVER be an Acecraft
Eish,
Money can't buy class

Hi guys have fished on those "old"wooden boats. They are awsome to go to sea on. Those big diesels drumming below deckwith a solid ride on the water is sheer bliss. There was a boat called paarl rock bought by father and son Gracy. The boat was renamed Maude Mary, the cleanest i have had the experience to fish off. The starter was air driven, the crew had to go below and pump pressure with a hand pump. Below the wheel in the cabin there were two pedals that were stood on to start the engins. The engins would start with the revs hunting up and downand then settle down to an idle. They dont make them that way no more.

JPfish ,
This project had a lot of WTF's in the beginning from people who did not know the full story or did not know the nature of the objectives of the project, and is a project of a nostaljic nature for the new owners , as they caught their first tuna's from her back in the 70's as crew.
I also had some raised eyebrows and a frown in the beginning but get the plot now and this is going to be a awsome boat once its done.
For those who know the boat in Houtbay , after the tummy tuck /boob job /Botox. This will be one of the Sexy ones in the Marina and can see her attracting some "Land Fish " as well when the South Easter is howling.
