Vintage Movies of a Sande Ace!
Bob Parks has converted his grandmother's wonderful movies to a digital format. They include clips of their new 1957 Sande Ace at their place on Nelson's Cove at Bald Point, Hood Canal. The single cockpit Ace originally sported a Mercury Mark 28 with tiller steering but that was soon replaced by a more powerful Mark 58. A still photo from one of the early clips is shown below. Come back because - as soon as some technical problems are solved - you will be able to see the movies which are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
Mystery Solved!
This single cockpit version of the Sande Ace, offered for sale in the midwest several years ago, was purchased by Roy. It now resides in Washington.
A Sneak Peak
Here's hoping that this newly discovered 1959 Sande Ace gets back in the water soon! More details later.
