Welcome to this site

BE PROUD!

BE VERY PROUD!

I heard Van Riebeeck arrived in the Koisan Republic in three Ace Crafts!

As opposed to Butt Cat who copied their design from the Island People in the Pacific who just went around in circles catching garfish and sea cucumbers

It took Diaz and Columbus to get into MONO hull boats, the forerunners of ACE Craft, to open up the New World

STAND PROUD!

This is an earlier pic of the original design, also sold in kit form

Hahaha -

Het ook gehoor dat daar iewers vertalingsprobleme was met die Grieks en Hebreeus - Noag se Ark is oorspronklik Noag se Ace gewees.

Hi all,bought my 15.6 in oktober and have already done 30 hours at sea on her.A bit wet but an absalute pleasure.A really well built boat.

Hey guys! Yip Ace Craft is a winner!!Had mine for nearly two years now and very happy. I feel that with a big sea she is a little under powered - running x2 30HP Johnsons - however thats not the boats fault.When the times right and some prayers answered will get a pair of 40 Yammies trim & tilt - then schweet schweet!

The moulds for the 501 and 555 are just down the road from me in Gordons Bay , If you want one it can be organised. This hull is not popular in Cape waters , but collectors items in Northern Zululand.

Not that popular here either if I must be honest! Do a search on the forum, there has been discussions!

Must Honestly say - and looking at it now - can definately see it as a predecessor for the 525 Cobra Cat, the same genes are in there.

Saw this neglected old Ace in Tableview yesterday

Strakes don't look right and has the new version flotation outmount box

So, not a Seaglyder

Still, sad to see any boat going this way

Not Sure if they are for sale or what condition they are in ,  The Moulds are currently owned by Magsons Marine in Strand Western Cape.   This used to be their 18ft Cat of choice in both fwd console as well as cc  untill the SeaCats started coming onto the market,  I know its been some time since they last built a 555 ( last one I know of was back in 2009/10) as Magsons is a Yamaha dealer and under pressure to rather sell Seacats.
