Welcome to the forum and a great source of information and good advice by some very experienced folks! If you haven't seen
this thread, I'd start there! You can probably learn as much from it and the other threads in the repairs section as any book. Island Trader, Blue Heron, and others are also doing some great stuff on their boats. Beyond that, just post any questions on this great forum. The only dumb question is the one you DON'T ask!
BTW, the Sceptre is a great dive boat and they may even be a little cheaper than the CC's which aren't as good for diving.
