I used to have a Cape Horn 19 back in the day before they were popular in the late 90's. I heard Chris Fabro and the Cape Horn guys went under. Anyway....

My Cape Horn was stout and clean but a light and wet ride. It was fast but couldn't take much rough water. I had a T-top and a 200 and still did 55. Very plain but well made boat. It'll be expensive and look hand made - if they still make 'em in Milton, FL. Panhandlers swear by 'em. I bought mine in 1993 before any of the dealers had 'em. I had trouble selling it in 95 so I brought back to Pensacola and sold it in two weeks.

I like the line, though. Clean topsides and clean rear. I bet it is fast but wet on the lake.

I run a Cape Horn 19 now..............LOVE IT!!! wouldn't trade it for this new one.......BUT wouldn't mind a bit more motor............Mine rides like a dream........is it wet?? May as well throw a bucket of water in your own face before you leave the launch.............Can't have it all..........Right??
