I agree with John R., IF you want it to look like an original CC, maybe better just to buy an original CC.

However, if you read enough posts in the archives here, a trend you start to see is how much people like how these boats ride. There is a bit less chat about the perfect setup of the original interiors.

hmmm...floors being raised by many, livewells moved, consoles changed, transoms raised or closed, level floors instead of casting platforms, the list goes on.

If you know what you are doing and are planning on doing the work yourself, go for it (if the boat is REALLY cheap). If you are hiring somebody else to turn a Sceptre into an original looking 23CC - Drive to Miami and buy a decent second hand 23CC and save yourself a bunch of money and aggrivation.
