ACM Elite 31 (2003)

What a good looking craft. The off-white Gelcoats make her more "Friendly" somehow.

We will work from forward to aft in cabin.. more shots to come after boat is lifted and given usual wash and brush up in a couple of weeks, When boats are kept on a swinging mooring it is always tricky to keep them clean, this boat would look very very nice , very easily and she is being lifted out as usual fort winter and will have engines serviced, full wash, Teak cleaning, and antifoul anodes etc in Early December..

Brochure shot does show the nice open deck forward and the pleasing flair. This actual boat has Teak to cockpit and aft platform but not fore/ side decks as brochure shot

Small child, open sea at speed, no harness or Life jacket.....Umm..

Transom gate/washboard access. deep self draining cockpit, dinette port, forward seat rollover. double cabin under, nice side decks, note flair on hull. wide deck forward should help keep her a dry boat underway.. Teak deck aft and cockpit only.

forward cabin, infill forward, stowage shelf above and bins under berth, two opening portholes,

port side at head of bed, hanging locker reading lights

looking in to port side cabin. dressing seat, berth left of shot.

looking forward from saloon, Laminate "Teak and Holly" flooring throughout, smart simple and hard wearing, note GRP liners forward..

co-pilot seat to port rolled to look aft and join dinette,

smart boat...

from all angles..home berth, awaiting lift out and wash off. Note owner keeps curtains shut to reduce fade to wood work etc

and now phptos in April 2010 after she has had a full wash and cut and wax.. and all Teak cleaned with alkali and acid.. very smart

Teak all clean

looking forward

aft platform, snap davits.. sockets for swim ladder,

front end all cleaned up..

notice the water sat on top of the wax... and big over hang to shade from sun inside..

I have always admired this boat, a strong competitor of the Nimbus 320 Coupe. swept shearline is especially attractive, Good headroom, decent deck access forward, transom access, looks like it should look after itself at sea as well. and with lots of room around the engine she is easy to maintain. Teak deck and cappings look smart and with aft cockpit canopy fitted she is a very able family cruiser. The large glass area is a real boon . Visibility is excellent from in the saloon, whether underway or sat at anchor.. The owner is looking to go back to sailing for a while. so a part exchange of a shallow draft or lift keel sail boat 28-32 foot approx in good recent order... 5 years or younger.. Cat A. at a value in the £30k-£60k range could be considered if figures reasonable
