Initial Sea Trial a Success for New ACY68
ACY recently conducted a successful sea trial of their newest work of art – the 68-foot SILVER ARROW. Featuring ACY’s traditional outline and signature water-slicing hull, the SILVER ARROW is ACY’s first 68-footer and the first ACY vessel to carry the new MTU Series 2000, 2400 bhp engines. This one-of-a-kind showpiece has been meticulously handcrafted by ACY to meet the owner’s every need. The SILVER ARROW is loaded with thoughtful custom features, including hand-selected teak throughout the vessel (including all three staterooms and heads), marble counter tops in the galley and vanities, a motorized rod storage locker in the companionway and an oversized custom refrigerator and freezer. An elaborate electronics package has been installed by IMS American Marine Electronics, including drop-down TV’s in the staterooms, a pop-up TV in the salon, and a sophisticated navigation package complementing the eye-catching custom tower and hard top by Bausch-American Towers. Final interior detailing is currently underway. Upon completion, ACY will conduct additional sea trials to fine tune equipment and optimise the propellers.

A custom fabricated aluminum engine bed was recently installed in the new ACY90 to accommodate the massive 9,200 hp.MTU power package. The installation was followed by the fitting of fuel tanks and transmissions. The deck house was removed to accommodate these installations, as well as the painting of the utility room and commencement of plumbing and electrical systems. The fabrication of Interior accommodations is nearing completion, including the constructing of the salon sole step and the final fitting of bunks, night stands and heads. Installation of the bunk rails, sea rails, door jambs and veneer will follow.
