Thats the way my 18 was when I spotted it about a 1/2 mile from the highway. I just had to turn around and check it out. She was an unfinished project and still is 8 years later. And to this day, one of the prettiest boats in my area. Deck is for blood and guts!! ;)

looks very clean and shiny in pics but its been painted recently.i took the boat out for sea trails 2 times and amazingly everything works!!! I only paid 2300 for the boat and trailer so i think im ahead so far. its not that i dont like the cabin but its not that practical. there is no anchor locker, and i had a 23' hydro-sport wa and never used the cabin.i think i just want a project for the next few years! it also needs new transom,dive platform and an engine bracket to make room for dive platform

i was thinking the boat restoration might cost 10-12 K and then another 10-12 K on the engines!! is this about right

YEP :D

Re: 1974 scepter
 

Whatever you do with it, its a sharp looking boat.

Re: 1974 scepter
 

And then you can sell it for 10-12 :D

Basswacker its sad to say but "Your Right" you could have a SeaCraft worth 30k these days and it wouldn't sell for no more than 10-15k. So if anyone is going to restore a CSC these days with the price of all the materials to do it, you better plan on marrying the boat for a long time. :D
