Was browsing around looking for bargains. Came across this. Perfect Cape boat. Motors a bit light for KZN but low hours 4 strokes and boat looks clean - good value I think.

This is it:

Beautiful hey Bennie! This boat is thirty years old :)

There are so many of these still around.

I still haven't seen a wrecked or abandoned old 660DV, anywhere.

It is a tribute to AC Marine's quality

Have a good anniversary

Brings back some great memories - thanks guys!
I ordered a 19' Ace Craft kit in the early 1970's and launched it about a year later and added an OMC 140hp Z-Drive.
It was a big ski boat in those days and caught lots of fish off PE including tuna far offshore, and yellowtail. It also got us home in some terrible weather and rescued a few boats.
A friend of mine still has a 16' plywood Ace he built and it is now 45 years old and still going.
Ace Craft was a major contributor to the evolution of ski boats in SA.

That's a Adventure 16,1 it was built by Pitts Marine....I would guess around 2000-2005....super nice little boat!

Hi,
Thanks. I figured as much. Pitt is/was in PMB can't locate them.was wondering if they still had the Moulds.

Know this is an AC thread, but im sure most are mono-lovers in general. Have taken the last few months to totally restore a 18'6 Viking with a pair of Yammie 85's. Everything from the ground up basically. The stand out lessons. Costs are way more than initially expected and days become weeks, become months before you know it!

Here's a few pics!

Incomparable build to todays modern boats. When we cut through the hull for new drainage plugs the core that came out in the hole saw was a few cm's think. Solid as a rock. Very stable and a pleasure to drive.
