The Little Boat That Could
2 Attachment(s)
Still the most under rated and un appreciated of all Seacrafts. Some people are even talking about hacking them to bits :) This photo was posted quite a while ago and I finally found it in my archives. I forgot who posted it... a father son team back in the 70's.....

Hey, I for one think a person can do anything he wants to do with his boat...:p

Must have been an agency comms unit, I mean look at all of those antennae pointing everywhere... or maybe early SETI Institute investigators;)

Great shot. I saw a similar aged 20 MA with old twin 70 Johnsons on it at Sesuit Harbor in Dennis, MA. Never saw twins on a 20!

Heres the original link posted by Endured several years ago. http://www.classicseacraft.com/commu...ight=endurance For some reason I thought it was Capt Chuck that posted it but I got it all straightened out now. Sorry for the confusion there Capt. strick |

With that being said, let me point out that two members of the forum have taken a 21 (now these are rare) and changed them into something that was never made. etc. one is a center console and the other one is being made into a Seafari. No screaming and gnashing of teeth. Heavens forbid the next thing someone will want to do is take a race boat and turn it into a fishing machine...:D:D |

I must admit I've done my share of hacking in my day. And while keeping the original lines of the boat most of us will change up things on the interior to our liking. But I have become more of a purist as time goes on. I'm heading to the cathedral now to get some holy water....

That is my friend Phil's 20' Sceptre. He wanted a 23' Sceptre but it was too much $$ for him at the time (in the 1970's). He now has two 23' ers. A Sceptre and a Savage.

Yes, that was my old 74 Scepter in Georgetown, SC. Fished 7 years out of the boat and 65hp Johnson's never missed a beat. One of those antennas was a CB. More people talked on CB offshore than on VHF's. Navigation was a compass, flasher depth finder and a Radio Direction Finder (RDF). Just tune in the local AM radio and it would point toward the station. That is the way the Japanese tuned in Pearl Harbor.
Miss the old boat but I found it up on Lake Murray, SC several years ago. It is now green but as sharp as ever. I think those 7 years are part of my 65 year old back problems today. But what the H**L, you are young only once. |
