1985 23' Seacraft Sceptre Project
 

1985 Seacraft 23' Sceptre w/ twin 1985 140HP Evinrudes & aluminum trailer. Too many boats. I have acquired a 1976 Seacraft 23' Inboard and do not have the time to work on this project. Bennett trim tabs, Hynautic steering, solid floor, transom appears solid, original motors supposedly have good compression (haven't checked, but not locked up, needs carb work, was going to repower), needs new fuel intake. It had been sitting for a while when I picked it up. Needs a through cleaning, which I may try to do if time permits. Hull appears solid except for the front nose cap is soft where pulpit was mounted. $2000

Where is she located?

Update 1985 Seacraft
 

Sorry, the boat is located in Geneva, Fl. 32732, which is in Central Florida, about 20 miles northeast of Orlando.

Sent you a message

Thank you to the members who have expressed interest. I'd like to make some room and start working on the inboard, so if your interested, let me know. I have another basically stock 1974 Seafari 4.3 Mercruiser I/O that I need to post also.

Thanks.

Barry

More pics please... :)

No nude "reflection" ones though..:rolleyes:

I have that exact trailer, a 1979 era.......67" axles. I think it is original to my 79 Sceptre. It's quite narrow and gets sway when it's not tied down. I actually had to add 120 lbs of playground sand sealed in PVC pipes strapped to the frame to get the trailer to sink at the ramp. Now it's perfect, but what a PIA when I first got it.

Good idea! I had the same problem. I fixed it with wrapping some galv chain around the base of the uprights. Not a pretty as your solution, but it still works.

Is the boat still available

Zutt, I've been communicating with a couple club members about the purchase, but the boat is still for sale. Had another inquiry from Hawaii, but that seems like a major undertaking to get it there.

Snookered / 77 SceptreOB,
The trailer is registered as a 1986 Magicloader. It actually trailered pretty straight behind the truck when I first towed it home, except for a couple bearing issues (bearings have been replaced). They are fairly narrow trailers, but will fit tight quarters.

My email and phone sent to you

Fred! what the hey buddy, you bored? Good to see you still the mix. :cool:
Hope all is well!

Good luck with the sale, fishlips. Ditto with the purchase, Fred...

Quick cleanup. Still needs a good scrubbing.

Sold
 

Andy (Cutiger) from South Carolina came down and picked up the Sceptre. We swapped trailers and he hauled it back home. Andy, I hope the motors check out and you have her in the water in the near future, good luck.

The 1986 Magicloader tandem aluminum trailer is still available if anyone is interested. Needs lights and fenders. $500. Going to put it on CL for $750 and see if I get any interest.

Thanks to all the CSC members that expressed interest. Still have the 1974 Seacraft Seafari to go, then I can start working on the 76 23' inboard.

Good morning Rusty,

The trailer is pretty sound and should make it. The tires are older, but unloaded it is probably fine for that distance. I can try to round up additional spares just in case.
Needs lights, carpet and fenders. I can probably rig the lights for the trip. Keep me posted if you're interested.

Barry

Barry very interested !! ill get in touch with my brother in law and see if he will help me out .... he lives in Mt Dora ... but even if I have to make the jaunt over there on the way to port Richie or on the way back from the keys ... ill figure it out ...
