The Difference between a 555 ACE CAT and a 550 ACE Cat is the 550's bow roller is not present.
There has only ever been a 550DV but not a CAT.

Here is a bit of a Nostalgic ACE Craft Story .
On Gumtree, there is a 18,6 Ace Craft for sale with 2x90hp Yamaha's.
http://johannesburg.gumtree.co.za/c-Boats-Watercraft-motorboats-jet-skis-18-Foot-Deepsea-Boat-with-2x85-Yamaha-motors-W0QQAdIdZ387923997
Not really in Prime Condition but a bargain none the less for a project boat , The Boats Name is " Bonito" and belonged to a Gentleman named Piet Joubert many moons ago.
Here is a bit of SA Angling fishing lore..
This Boat won the 1994 Billfish Competition and what makes it interresting is that the competition was won when , Piets crew did not pitch and he decided to Surf launch and go fishing SOLO.
Somewhere around Mid Day , after setting outriggers , rod spread north of Mabibi, he hooked into a Marlin, and all hell broke loose on that boat. The marlin Stayed Hooked , Piet Cut his foot somewhere on the deck. After a Long fight the Marlin was boated 2 hrs after Lines Up , and just made it back before dark onto the Beach. During his return back he was lead in by Piet van Dyk on his Boat "Yelowfin" also a ACE Craft, with great exitement and applause on the beach being the last boat in.
This Story is also told and compared to Ernest Hemmingways "The old man and the sea" in the Sept/Oct 2010 issue of Skiboat magazine.

Some of them are with the "Spirit in the Sky" chasing whatever there is to catch . Piet van Dyk on the other hand is playing Golf everyday on Leopard Creek and in the evenings he watches all these youtube clips on Sealine of these new (Buka Mina) Cats roll in the shallow water and their crew swimming back for dear life and then laughs himself to sleep.
