Hi thika,

Agree with the cuddy cabin. I saw them the first time on an old ace craft advert and thought it was perfect. Never thought i would ever see one, and when the for sale ad came up, i nearly fell over. Contacted the seller, but was too late.
That would be the only boat i would consider selling my boat for. My ace is a DV as well and to me one will have to look far to find an all rounder family boat, spacious and stable.

As promised earlier, here is my "old girl"
Cheers Tony

I wonder if they will ever revive something like these.

Finally found a boat I like!! (and can afford )
need some elbow grease to get her back to excellent but should be perfect by spring. She sports 50 Yammie auto-lubes, not sure about the models???? could use some help in deciphering the model numbers. 50DE0 and 6H5-L and z ...

 

[Natalshark]

BFC,

Very impressive !. Well done on an excellent jo.. have you started the 660

 

[thika]

Thanks for the pics okes and congrats with your boats!

Who knows of someone that has a Kevlar 660DV?

I for one don't think a lighter mono will ride as well

 

[thika]

All three old school mono's together at my place:

Miles's Billfish in the middle

Capey furthest away

All three proper Deep Vee's of which the Ace Craft was built with best finishes and also rides best

The motors on the Cape Craft are 200 Suzuki's with 3700 hours on!

Hi thika,

Apparently mine is Kevlar. The bloke i bought it form had it custom built for him. Was used a lot through the Umngazane river and apparently eats up surf. Not yet tested the theory myself, but you can feel she is very solid. Like a tank

 

[thika]

Thanks Natalshark

Do you know what the hull only excluding everything weighs?

 

[thika]

Saw these two boats on Friday : Classic Ace Crafts both.

 

[thika]

Good horses! The outmounts boxes would be add-ons though.
