where is boat located?? how is foor and transom?

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

transom is in good condition....the floor had a little water under the passenger chair.I had it inspected last summer and i was informed it was minimal. The fiberglass company quoted me around 1,000 to repair completely. South Jersey area

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

What is the condition of the trailer? NJ-to-Maine?????

Cool boat!

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

Sealion trailer is in good condition...
I have clear title on both the boat and trailer.

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

Which outdrive is on it,Alpha,or Bravo?.Any idea on how many hours on the engine and drive?

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

The outdrive is alpha, I did put a call in to my mechanic for the hours on the engine and outdrive. They will both be the same since they were both installed at the same time. My guess is under 200 hrs.

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

What would be the value of a Alpha outdrive connect to a 5.4? Merc. I have the opportunity to purchase a boat with this application but I do not need this motor. It is a 2000 model with less than 200 hours and in good condition.

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

The boat had a 5.0. Mercury marine makes a 5.7 that is equal to 250 HP. The engine I had installed is a 350 mag MPI that is equal to 300HP. When I had the engine installed I went to mercury's website. There were only 2 mercury certified technicians(mechanics) in my county. Cape Harbor Marina who installed the engine and outdrive is one of them, they recommended the upgrade in power and the outdrive for the sceptre. That was 20 months ago and have had zero problems with performance of the engine and the outdrive.

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

I am looking at a 1974 Sceptre that had the engine added in 2000. I think it is the same as your are referring to. I want the hull for a bracket modification therefore do not need the engine or outdrive and was curious to their value as I would like to make an offer for this boat. I have no clue to IO values and would be greatful for any info on their value.

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

This boat is a steal in my opinion if the hours are accurate. I just purchased a 350 mag mpi with bravo 1 outdrive new for my 74 Tsunami, and the cost was alot more than the asking price of this boat. But then again times are a little different now. :(

Re: 1976 23 ft SeaCraft Sceptre
 

The engine cost me 15,000 installed with outdrive 20 months ago.This did not include the new cables and control mount.
