SUPSHED in Orewa NZ have got hold of this beauty...

Not sure about the exhaust pipe or the apparent lack of a rudder, but the rest looks awesome!!!

Nice.. thanks for the pictures.

My friend PT has one ordered.

Sure look nice (outside of the tail drain).
It looks like it has more rocker than the 2015 Ace-GT?

I think the bumhole is a good idea. If the birdbath area gets filled in rough water on a dugout it can take a ludicrous amount of time to empty otherwise. With the bumhole, as soon as you take a stroke most of the water should sloosh to the back and reduce emptying time considerably.

It's also a bonus not having a rudder as far as I'm concerned. Keep it simple and reliable, and allow different fin choices.

I've not got a lot of rudder experience but I was kinda hoping for a standard fin box with the option of rudder spindle through it - that way you could run either option as you wished... let's see what the price is as well...

I thought it was proto'd with a rudder system. The one I saw was certainly set up that way. It's a big board to DW in our conditions without a rudder. The last one was hard work.

Tod.....order one buddy.
