Chris Craft would use other Manufacturers from time to time for hulls---is this the case here?? Maybe.
I know that CC used Uniflite Hulls in 2 of their rare but much wanted models.

Did a quick google search using search terms "Hull Identification Number ZZZ" and came up with many sites describing how to decipher the HIN, each of which used ZZZ as a generic for the first 3 letters of the HIN, which identifies the manufacturer. Also, ran across a reference to a USCG searchable database of HIN's. Give it a try and maybe you will find something:

measure the keel width at transom
this may be one of the boats i built in 1972, built 5 of them. the keel width at transom will tell me what it is. she's a very well balanced boat and excellent running. you will really enjoy how she performs good luck

Bradford, thank you so much, I think you're correct. I've found a few pictures online of anacapri boats and my boat has the same lines.
RichardK, I'll take some measurements later today and post them here, It would be great if you could provide more history on this old girl. It's currently powered with a 75-77 built mercruiser R233 (ford 351W), did anacapri power boats with mercruiser inboards from the factory?

Richard, you seem to be a guy that was on top of the boat building industry in your area, any information you can provide on this boat is greatly appreciated.
The keel width is approx. 6' 5", the width at the bottom of the transom bulge is approx 5' 2", at the 2nd set of strakes it's 3 feet and the flat portion is about a foot. These are just rough measurements taken with a beer in one hand and measuring tape in the other. One thing I feel worth mentioning is that in the pictures I've found of anacapri boats, there's only 1 or 2 lifting strakes while on this boat there's 3, 2 start at the bow and a 3rd starts about 1/3rd of the way back from the bow high up on the keel, you can barely make it out in this picture, look above the crooked trailer fender, this is the 3rd strake that lines up with the edge of the transom bulge, the 2nd highest strake continues to the back and it about halfway up the keel and the lowest strake continues to the point where the keel is flat on the bottom near the stern.

to maritime on your boat
kindly take a straight edge and place it against the side of the last 6' of the inner most strake on the port side. it should have a curve to it. from the front looking aft see if the strake is bowed. focus on the last 4 ft of all strakes and i bet you see the hook on port side. anacapri made a few boats first from the flip them method then straightened out their molds for resale purposes. i think they used the original almar hull for first three only. look at the main engine mount stringers and see if they're formed using 2 pcs 3/4 plwood or 2x10s. all my boats were 2x10s thru-out hull. the pic shows the aluminum rub rail of early 70s type, this is anacapri, mine were heavy rubber with a white rubber insert or rope type the hook will tell me what it is.the fwd bulkhead should be 2x10s cut to fit also. ck for structural fatique port and starboard, this is where the hull takes the abuse of a wave quartering when eng is placed amidships. i really beefed up these areas and never had a problem. my boats were a 2 and 2 hand layup. which is botom = 2layers of 24oz roving and 2layers of 1&1/2 oz mat with a 3/4 oz skin coat and overlapping all center keel with another mat and 24 oz roving and special attention to shaft log and rudder post thru hull areas. buil like a tank but solid and sold many to the fla parks patrol dept.they wanted a shallow draft so i designed a tunnel hull that really worked and had my laywers and penn yan going nuts. nothing they could do for mine was different and highly effective then streched the old girl to 25' cc with a 318 chrysler clocked at 42. a beautiful boat and thats the perfect lenght for her. keep me posted on what you find and send a pic of something in question. you have a real nice boat there and now enjoy her. thank you! richard
