Ace Crafts never die ......!!!!

What hull is it 21ft -exSharksboard?

Deep V or SDV ?

 

[DBMarine]

Ill be taking more dimensions etc this week and will know more about the hull, The guy I bought it from originally got it from PE the hull has apparently only been launched less than 10 times. There are ZERO scratches or any markings on the Gel coat not even trailer slide marks but the deck and wood has seen better days. I found it on a property in Durban, has been sitting there for a number of years and before that had been sitting on a farm in PE. I bought it blind for a good price so now the Very slow process of re-build starts, Ill update with Pics as I go.

The Name AT LAST is gel coated from the mould. Other markings are Ace Craft Badge and a C8 moulded into the lower right side of the transom, other than that I know nothing about the boat.

 

[BFC]

I am guessing it may have been a 21ft Centre Console
like the attached pic.

please post some pics of the bow- sprayrails and chines this looks like another variation on the chine pattern.

 

[DBMarine]

Just the ones ive got on my PC for now..

 

[BFC]

Ok now its clear :

Its a 6.6m Semi Deep Vee AceCraft Commercial boat
beam is 2.56m

They have a very funny tradition - they used to be fitted with 3x motors - and only 3 because there is no space for 4.

deck on inside looks like it could have had same layout.

 

[DBMarine]

Here is the moulded C8 and few more pics from this morning. So if its the SDV Ace then its going to work slightly better for my needs as the down angle of the shaft will be better due to a flatter aft section?
