All I can say is WOW.

Little did I ever expect to see my 34 year old dream boat again, let alone have my son buy it. I tried my best to talk Steven out of it, you know the saying about a hole in the water! It would not sway him in any way. Sounds like the other old saying about the chip off the block.

Only thing left to do is to dust off the brain cells and help get this "Classy Lady" back to her full glory!

Paul Harvey wants me to tell the rest of the story now, I had Steve and his older sister Dawn together on the phone last night so we could break the news to her about this. Her first comment to this was for her to yell at her husband to ask if she could go half on the price! I guess I must have raised some crazy children! Makes one proud and worry at the same time.

Congratulations Steve.

Yep, and I hope to make a lot more.

Looks like you need to start a new thread on here Steve.

Getting a bit off topic on this one.

You're going to need some help from these guys.

New to the forum but not new to classic seacrafts -grew up fishing on a 1977 Sceptre that my dad owned from the early 80s until 2004...he bought it back in 2009 and we restored it together - 1977 Sceptre 23, 2012 Yamaha F250..dont have any pics handy, as the boat is in Daytona Beach and I am in Tampa for school but it has fresh white gel coat with a black boot stripe.
