Every 23 Sceptre I have owned or looked at crackeds in the bow area under the hatches. There is a lot of flex in the bow area of these boats. My 23 cc does not show the stress of the Sceptre's.
Yep. Entourage posted the same comment on Connor's thread. If my line of thinking is correct, the reason these cracks appear in the Sceptres, but non in the CCs is the storage box in the casting deck. It limits the movement of the hull panels between the stringers and the keel so they can't flex to the point that the chine step cracks.
