If this a fishing boat the Sceptre is really hard to beat, great on troll and drift, plenty of dry storage without taking up cockpit space. The cockpit is huge, I had 2 portable Pomponette chairs and a 155 Igloo back there with tons of space left over. Out riggers set up very nice with easy access with them being forward to stay out of the way, best bluewater boat I can imagine- plus you can hold a square dance it if you want
