One Rebuild and Three New Aces in the Works
Ace projects for the winter include two in Washington and two in the Midwest. Bob Parks is rebuilding his third Sande Ace. Dave and Bob Renton, Art Johnson and family and Scott Hushour are building new Aces from scratch for their 2012 boating seasons.
Come back later to see the completed plywood beauties.
 
 
More Receipts
Earl Sande found some more original receipts for Sande Aces. Here's one which shows they introduced the longer 13-foot model after about one year. (3.33% sales tax!.....in Washington!!)

Sande Ace Rendezvous 2011
It's hard to believe this was the 7th Sande Ace Rendezvous. And that doesn't count when Ned came cruising down Hood Canal in 2004 to visit the Waalis with their Ace not yet ready to go!
The picture below shows the five Aces, each with its Cloud White Mercury motor, that showed up at the Twanoh State Park this year. But look closely and you'll see special attention being paid to one of these 50-year old Mercs.
