ACM Elite 31

[[165042]]

Nice looking ACM Elite 31 for sale at a sensible price (assuming it's not another FB scam boat) The blue hull isn't my cup of tea though:

Single engine but twin throttle quadrant?

They came with morse controls - independent throttle and gear levers.

I messaged the seller and that’s what he said.

Probably because it's true

Mine had a white hull - good boats and a cheaper and arguably better looking option over a Nimbus 310/320

I’ve seen them like that in older boats but not in anything more recent. I was expecting to see the more usual single control lever.
If she was closer I’d have gone and had a look. We’ve had a look at a Skilso 975 but missed out on it. I believe that the hull form of the ACM is flatter without the prominent keel seen on the Skilso/Nimbus. How does this effect handling especially in lumpy seas?

I've owned a Nimbus 310 and an ACM Elite 31. To be honest I can't say there was much difference cruising around the Solent but then it was typically at planing speeds around 18 - 20 knots. If there were a sliding scale from displacement to planing handling I'd put the Nimbus on a 6 and the ACM on a 7.

I'm certain they made the Elite with twin Volvo AD31 (130 hp each). Probably not a lot, though

They made the Nimbus 310 with twin engines too but again weren't very popular. A stern thruster certainly helps but I didn't have one on either boat.

Having the next size of ACM up and previously owned a Bennet hulled P33, a Olesinski hulled P35 and a Rolly Poly Broom Aquafibre hull of uncertain pedigree , the ACM is as least as good, possibly better than any of them in a uncomfortable Thames esturary chop.
All that stuff about Brooms being good sea boats is load of old tosh.
The only thing you are likely to "see " again is your breakfast.

Assume the one on Facebook?

Yes

Yes they made some with twin TAMD31P 150’s, I’m just in the process of getting mine ready to sell if anyone is looking one.
