I attended the JHB boat show the past weekend and as luck would have it , I ran into Chris Teer and asked him this question and learned something new , both the Ace Craft and the Ski-Craft are actually Brother and Sister. Hulls were both designed by David Gurrado and he adapted the same design with less freeboard backward centre of gravity and shortened Chines for Natal Conditions for Ace Craft in the 80's , and the Ski Craft was adapted for Cape Water Conditions with higher gunnels full length Chines and centre of weight a little more forward favouring Cape Conditions.

I am sure it is the same DV 660 hull
A friend of a friend, a dentist named Erik from Vereeniging, had that cuddy cabin, named Ace of Spades
We were slaloming on short and long ropes on the Vaal, and our semi-intoxication and bad driving led to the Wilgerboom shore anglers klapping his wife on the breast with a kleilat!

Maybe you can include the Official Seacat guys as well as they seem to have 3 posts per year - if you consolidate maybe it will go up a bit and then you guys can sing Coombaya and have a Cat group hug

I know she is the sister of an ace and not a true ace, and i know i'm not allowed to play on both sides of the fence but here's a truce picture..
Isn't she beautiful, such lines and i bet my life i will never climb on a more seaworthy and mannered 16ft ski boat. A true Cape Legend, and she taught me to fish and caught fish too!
