Unique Sceptre 20
 
Came across a Sceptre 20 with a classic 5.2 l Isuzu diesel w/borg-warner velvet drive. 190 hp, 387 ft/lbs torque, getting passed by everybody and not giving a $#!+. He could hunt at 13 knots all day for peanuts. I haven't spoken with the converter but I'm guessin he'd troll all day for tuna or marlin for the money his gal saved with coupons.

Guessin he didn't spill many adult drinks. Probably schooled at Marshtackie U.:D

Turns out the above listed power was not true but rather was a 2.0L Isuzu C190 Pisces motor with the BW velvet drive. Roughly 62 hp and probably 100 ft lbs of torque.That explains the 13 knots.

I had to learn more because a 5.2 liter isuzu is close to 1000 lbs and I thought it was an odd conversion. :eek:

Jimmeny Cricket Gillie, If he's mak'in 190 HP with 360 Cubic Inch and 1000#'s of cast iron to get 15 knots, he must have gone to either Harvard (or Stanford).

Yea, Keep an eye on things out west for us Gillie, we already got enought trouble in DC with your four girlfriends - Boxer, Harmon, Pelosi and Feinstein.

Oh man Gillie, you are a rather kinky guy with those four in your harem. :) You could really branch out to five and add Warren.

Don,
I'm afraid I'm gonna need a couple more cases of that apple core elixir you all distill to add another to the crew. On the other hand, Oakland's Barbara Lee is one of those gals that love to have a good laugh:

Oh come on Gillie, you know the best thing to come out of Oakland in the past 40 years is the Tower of Power -
"I still be digg'in on James Brown"

Gillie,
I saw that one on Craigslist myself and talked to the seller. Did u go look at it? Also if you see any 20' Seafari's on our 1/2 of the country please Let me know. I am shopping for one now... I am in Idaho but willing to drive south for Oranges and Seacraft vs across the country.

Thanks Robert

Did someone call me?

There is a commercial 20 sf here with a FoMoCo stuffed under the console.
Straight shaft. Pretty neat conversion and finished to the standard of blood.

I`ve seen her way overloaded.
