I think you made a mistake! The Cobra Cat is better than the Ace Cat. In fact, I may go on a limb here and say it is rubbish.

The Acecraft (Monohull) on the other hand is a completely different animal.

Hey Thika,

Listen man, for me, it was an honour to be on  "LODIE" as crew on her first craying/fishing/racing@80km/h run! It was crazy ! Love that boat. An Acecraft might , please note, might, be a better ride than a Supercat, there , i ve said it.

Thanks man...i must say i am over the moon happy jouyus..
She rides so well, I have taken her out three times this week, and am very impressed with the handling, and the yammies give soooo much power! The forward consol is great to get out of the "splash", althouth the design sprays alot of the water away, and the speed "overtakes" the splash!...

Just soo stoked. This is my 7th ski boat, and i really feel like this is superior to the others!

Wayno::S::S::S::S::Sonf)))

BFC...it looks like you have a rod holder/steel bar at the back by the engines...do you think this adds much weight to the back? I am thinking about doing the same for trawling and game fishing, on one of my last boats this made the back heavy, and more water came in..do you think thios will happen with ACE?

Congrats Wayno!

You will need a bar if you going to troll more than two lures

Also if waterskiing warra warra at The Pont to keep the rope up

Who built that boat?

yeah you right, i do like pulling the kids behind the boat, and the rope is being a bit of a hassel, pulling through the water....

 

The boat was built by Veega, a builder in Durban, he also builds the T-Cat...

It was built in December 2008.

She is solid, and quite heavy...but i wanted the weight, to cut through the chop..the weight does not worry me as the 2 40hp give the boat lots and lots of power and speed!

I think the bar might be a good idea...still thinking about it tho...it does get in the way lifting the motors, but also really helps when you nedd to take a pee, out to sea!.

After 2 months of anticipation and 4 days of hard driving from Somerset West to PMB and back the ''Sexy Thang '' has arrived in Gordons Bay and these legends can be constructed with newer materials and wood free construction

Thika ,

 It would be most welcomed to have some input from you , I think you are part to blame as well for me getting involved in this project, there is no other boat thread that has so much of a positive contribution and nostalgic audience and following on sealine.

and that of boats that are almost 20years + and older.
