Default Re: How much different is the ride?

Strick,
IMO there is a difference, but mainly due to helm placement. As you know, the Sceptre's helm is forward and to starboard whereas a CC is centered and further aft. Standing at the wheel of a Sceptre, you're not riding in the hull's sweet spot.

With someone else driving, stand in the bow of your CC about a foot aft of the casting platform and you'll see what I'm talking about.
One thing to think about is a sceptre is heavier in the bow than a CC so therefore the bow will want to stay planted in the water a little better than a CC. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
