23' hard tops or flybridge
 

Was just looking at the spec' and noted drawings of the flybridge and hard top s but don't remember ever seeing any pictures of one . Are there any out there?

tried posting this earlier. The only factory one I have seen

Function certainly won out over form on that top:p. Looked much better on drawing board...

Thanks guys have to agree with you looks a lot better on paper!

Check out the Hawaiian Seacraft in the Community...pictures and albums.

Much cooler looking and more functional. IMHO

That red boat is on a lift on my channel. has twin outboards, think only one runs. only seen it off the lift once in two years.

It must have been expensive to make as well due to the side windows being different.

hate they took a real trailer and made it a float-on. if people only knew what that trailer was capable of / designed for.

i have my original winch on horizon trailer from 1984 and have original springs and hub/bearings. my big boat float on gets new brakes every year and looks like its older than my old sea craft trailer.

Looks a lot better with the flybridge and the price is not bad I would think it would a great start on a project for up there

Somebody go get it. Sounds like a good deal, on a VERY rare SC.

so it looks like the red one used to have a fly bridge but was taken off.

I've been eyeing that boat all week! Its only about 15 minutes away. If I had a spot to put the darn thing I would definetly buy it. Looks like a great boat at a good price. But damn what a project.

Here's a 23' hardtop with a flybridge with twin I/O's I can't imagine that structure sitting on top of my Tsunami.It has to be top heavy.

cant imagine it would that bad I would think the twin i/o's would help with that

Even with the weight of the twins, she's gonna roll a bit with 1 person up top. Probably roll a lot with 2 up there. She's only got 8 feet of beam. I recall being on a guy's 25' Old Town Atlantis I/O a few years ago (yup, they made FG boats for a little while in the early 70s). The previous owner put a small tower on her, no higher than the bridge on this Sceptre, and she rolled a lot with 2 of us up there at headway speed. Granted, the OT had 24 degrees of deadrise, but was only 8 1/2 feet wide.

Ok since it's a little far for me to run up there ,I'm in the middle of doing a 23cc down here not to mention I have no room to put it - or. afford another boat ! ONE of you will have to pick this one up restore it and let us know how it goes!!!!
