Scepter to Savage
 

I have managed to aquire a 1976 23' Sceptre in addition to my 1978 23" Sceptre. I have an idea to convert the 76 into a Savage. I need a console and T-top. Any ideas???

Is there any reason person should not own two SeaCrafts??

Your console options are pretty limitless, but if you're looking for a stock SC console, you're looking in the right place. Otherwise, places like Marine Connection Liquidators sell some nice consoles from other boat mfgs. T-tops are also limitless, it all depends on what you intend to use the boat for.

As for owning 2 SCs, there's no reason at all not too. Heck, check out some of the other members, especially Four Boat Theory. His user name says it all. :D

See ya, Ken
I have also come to the conclusion that I will have live to be 298 years old to finish all of my projects, assuming no more added!!! :(

The biggest thing is to think ahead, When doing mine, I started with a smaller console (out of a 22 or 23 mako), and ended up not quite happy with it, I ended up using the large console out of a 26 mako and Love it, I can still walk around the console without turning sideways, and have great protection, and a nice console, You lose a foot or so in the front of it, requiring some modification to the fish box lid, but I did not mind. My boat fishes 4 with no problem, Dive gear and all. And the cabin is awesome for storage. I love mine!

Ryan - Was you boat originally a Scepter?

Thanks for the information. What do you think of an original 23' SeaCraft console?

Re: Scepter to Savage
 

Mine was originaly a Scepter, As for an original console, I personalyt would look for a model that was large enough to accomodate a small head inside of it, Those 23 proline consoles are very nice, I would use the back portion of the fish box for the floor of the console cabin,and put a divider in, modify the lid, and use the forward 3-4 feet for fish, ice, etc and that extra space would be great to use plus it is more private of a head. My mako console is nice, but it is a large console, I have seen very nice 23 consoles that were a bit smaller but had tons of space plus a head. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u.../seacraft1.jpg

I had a Sceptre and for my use wish it was a Savage, if you find one look at the 25 Mako console, I thought that was a great console, compared to the SC consoles, not sure about the head though never had one.
