EBEACH, that is the major drawback to the Sceptres. Bow access is terrible, and in the one currently on eBay, even worse because it doesn't have a hatch. I usually walk up the gunwale (had straps installed on bimini to grab onto) or I go out and over the winshield on the starboard side. Unfortunately the winshield frame runs across the top all the way around, so opening the center section doesn't let you go that way without stepping over the frame.
