Sceptre vs. Center Console
 

Are the '76 23' Sceptre and center console boats the same hull? The sceptre's hull seems like it is a little bigger, or maybe its just me.

Same hull. Sceptre weighs more, and the cog is a little further forward.

i have a '77 Spectre 23 ..its a project boat i picked up with a v-drive chevy 305.. i was wondering would it be better to keep the cuddy in the bow and rig it up like that or take it out to make it a center console? any ideas let me kno

Re: Sceptre vs. Center Console
 

IMHO, it would be a virtual crime to convert a rare 23' scepter inboard to a CC. You might due better to sell it and buy one of the more readily available CC's. Further, I believe the hull as a very shallow pocket at the stern for the inboard's prop vs. the CC hull.

Only 26 Sceptre Inboards were ever built - pretty rare find.

Put a 496 HO in there, it will bea 65mph fishing battlewagon!!

It does appear to have more room though I agree - you can have a square dance back there

The sceptre/Tsunami has more deck space then even the 25 Seafari.
