The Sande Ace Registry
The Sandes stamped a hull number under the port side quarterknee shown with the "X" in the picture below. The number encoded the month and year of manufacture along with the boat number built in that month. For instance, 3594 meant it was the 4th Sande Ace built in March, 1959.
The hull numbers known so far are:
6577 Roy D. (7th, June, 1957)
3588 Dale S. (8th, March, 1958)
2594 Steven O. (4th, February, 1959)
3592 Ned H. (2nd, March, 1959)
3594 Ed W. (4th, March, 1959)
6601 Arlie F. (1st, June, 1960)
3622 John B. (2nd, March, 1962)
These numbers are unknown for one reason or another.
? Brian P.
? Dan P.
? Roy D.
? Tom T.
? Bob B.
From this information, the minimum number of Sande Aces built in various months can be graphed. It is reasonable that the numbers dropped off with the increasing popularity of fiberglass boats but the data are sketchy so far.
