Hey anyone have any feedback on the point clear - former cape horn bay boats?
Aslo what kinf of ride does a cape horn have? Anyone know anything about them?

If you are looking for a great riding bay boat, look elsewhere. I think the the 18 Palm Beach is a much better boat and has a much better ride than the 18 Cape Horn.

are you talking about the Phase III? with the aft seating?

Tar Baby

yeah the phase III

The guy that built them was a friend of my dad, his wife is Lulu Buffet. He took the old 22 bay cape horn and cut the sides down and moved the console to the rear for a rear seating. It created a huge casting deck. He had some real nice features about the boat. I belive it was designed for inboard/outboard but he had one with a bracket and an e-tec on it at the boat show last year. He use to have some adds in the fishing magazines but I have not seen any in a while.

Not sure but I think it was McAleer Marine in Foley. They are no longer in business. I did talk with Mr Fabro @ Cape Horn in Milton. He said they sold their bay boat molds to McAleer, but did not know that McAleer went out of business. Too bad, as that was a good looking v hull for shallow water.

They were good riding bay boats. Phase III produced the 22 for a while with a funky interior. I think Phase III & Point Clear were the same people. Point Clear produced the 18 & 22 "normal" bay boats for a short time. I think they closed down though. The Point Clear web site doesn't work anymore. The remaining hulls were bought out by a local dealership.
