Worth knowing
ACM; cover, cost and conditions
ACM is a French motorboat yard based in Cabourg, Normandy. A Dutch broker describes the Elite 31 as a cruiser that is easy to transport yet roomy inside, and the Heritage as a hard-top boat that suits anglers; the yard also makes a point of unsinkable construction. Sources disagree on the year the company started, so we leave it out. The range runs from compact cabin boats to the Mystic yachts, whose numbers roughly give the length in feet.
Our model records hold five ACM entries, all classed as motor yachts. The Elite 31 appears twice at 9.41 m, once from 1994 and once from 1995, so there are four distinct models. The Heritage is the smallest at 7.99 m, recorded from 1995 to 2012. Above it sit the Mystic 39 at 11.75 m and the Mystic 44 at 13.65 m, both built from 2003 to 2012. Build years span 1994 to 2012, lengths 7.99 to 13.65 m.
The Heritage and Elite 31 are towable, which makes them good boats for rivers, lakes and harbours reached by road, and the Heritage's hard top keeps anglers dry on early mornings. The Mystic 39 and 44 are marina boats for coastal cruising. With hulls now up to three decades old, check engine hours, shaft seals and windows before buying.
