Endured,
I've got a similar boat, '85 Scepter volvo 260 I/O. Yours looks very very nice. Were the pics taken out on Lake Murray? Just wondering, I sailed out there for USC when I went to college there many years ago.

Congratulations on your big splash! She looks really, really fine....
Now you can sit back, relax & enjoy!

Lake Murray !!! Yes. We have a "cabin" up there that has been in the family since 1953. I am a 1974 Engineering graduate from USC.Go Cocks!!!!

Love to see your SeaCraft.

Sweet rig! I like the chrome bow chock. Its reminiscent of the ones on the old Bertrams. Cool tackle center too.

Thanks/,

In a former life, I owned a 1962 31' Bertram. The bow chock is off that boat. After all these years, I had it recromed and put it on Endured.

You did a great job. I bet it feels good to have her in the water after all this time.

Who did that top for you??? That's on my list for my Tsunami....I'm in Charleston so if it's a local job I can check them out.

Re: Endured finally in the water
 

And those look like steps I see in the cabin...???
That is really one very cool looking boat....and great action shots in SC....

I found the top on the website back in November. It was on a SeaCraft down in Beaufort. Drove down and transferred it over.

The steps came from West Marine. It fit perfect in the grove in the cabin bunks. Makes it nice on these "old" knees getting up and down from the front deck.

Look's beautiful. I've been looking for a similar seating setup for a while with no luck. where'd you find your arangement with the storage underneath for tackle. I'm hoping to find just general storage.

Endured i have a 79 same color with 225 E-TEC i will probably have pics tomorrow look for me. I have to take it out of the tent, has been sitting for 5 months.

Thanks,
The tackle centers came from:
http://www.nauticaldesigninc.com/tackle.htm
They are made to mount the seat directly on top of the tackle center.

The seat stands came out of another 23' Sceptre that I am converting into a Savage. I was luckly that the tackle centers fit under the seat stands where the coolers were made to slide under.
