Difference between Sceptre & Tsunami
I know this has been posted here before, but I was unable to find the thread and gave up after about an hour of searching.
Can someone tell me was the difference between the Sceptre and the Tsunami is? Is one any more desireable that the other? Just curious... Thanks. |
Re: Difference between Sceptre & Tsunami
Same boat, Just the names had to be changed from Tsunami to Sceptre because of another boat company already having the Tsunami name I think?

Brian if you are thinking of getting one I know of a gentleman just north of you who will be putting his Tsunami on the market soon. It's a IO and the engine is new.. boat is in excellent condition. Asking around 12K for it.

An oldie but a goody. I think somewhere it got clarified that 73/74ish was the change over.

Re: Difference between Sceptre & Tsunami
I have my original owners manual for my April 1979 Seafari 20 that shows all the models. They were Sceptre 20, SF20, Seafari 20, SF23, Tsunami 23, Seafari 25 and SF18. This manual says there was a Sceptre 20 and Tsunami 23 existing at the same time in 1979. Regards, Jim

You may have it in a manual, but I don't think you'll see a live tsunami after '74. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Oh well, that shoots that theory in the ass.

Re: Difference between Sceptre & Tsunami
Somebody was smoking something at SC in the '70s because the '78 specs on the home page reference Sceptre, yet in '79 it references Tsunami. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Something ain't right.

Re: Difference between Sceptre & Tsunami
Scott I agree. But I have yet to see a Tsunami post '74 and there's quite a few of Sceptre's, Tsunami's and their cousin the Savage down here.
There's inconsistancies in what we know for example, why is a TXY boat built in '81......? My '72 SF I know for a fact was built in '71 and still has secrets to tell. |
Re: Difference between Sceptre & Tsunami
I have a question: Is there a definitive way to tell by which manufact a SeaCraft was built other than the serial #'s. What I mean, is there a tell-tale, obvious quality degradation that is easily noticed between the different manufacturers ? I have a Potter hull, and I know the hype about it. But, when analyzed, is a CSY, or whoever else made the SeaCraft hulls after Potter, that much less in manufact quality. If so - where were the corners cut ? |

Re: Difference between Sceptre & Tsunami
I have a 79 Sceptre. Some one has all the specs for most of the years. I forget who it is but I remember getting the specs on my 79 from him. Scotty.
