Re: Should I keep 75 Sceptre
Joe,
Welcome to the site. That's quite an interesting story, especially since you are the boat's original owner.
Should you keep it or sell it? Most guys here will tell you to keep it (this is a classic SeaCraft site after all [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]), but I guess you need to determine if the boat is still right for your needs. With only 200 hours on the engine, it has a lot of life left in it if there isn't any terminal damage from sitting for so long.
Regarding getting the boat ready for water, after sitting for that long the gas will need to be pumped from the tank, the tank will need to be cleaned (maybe even replaced depending on confition), and the engine/outdrive should be thoroughly inspected and serviced by a mechanic.
Structurally there shouldn't be any issues especially since it was stored in a garage all this time.
