The Apollo has a lot of cup and progressive pitch along with a lot of blade area, likely making it a harder prop to turn. It is also a bow lifting design. I really don't know what the preference is on a sceptre. You might see if your local prop shop will loan you a Mirage Plus or a Powertech MQS for a day in the same size. Maybe even try a Black Max in aluminum to see if the sternlifter is what you need. If that works look into PowerTech MQF series to get the same blade geometry in stainless.

Regarding the Armstrong rep, he's familiar with standard mounts. By most accounts Seacraft hulls want to be just a bit higher than normal. But 1 hole at a time makes the most sense.

Good luck. and Happy New Year!
