K Wow, I am a newbie to seacrafts I guess.... first one I had ever heard of was when john123 posted his newly restored tsunami on great lakes angler. I showed it to dad and told him this is our next boat.... we had a nothing boat together but registered to him. Last spring he died and the boat was lost because of a wicked ex step mother. Fishing season was coming and I had no boat. (I did have a whole garage full of rigging though
) looked at a lot of different boats before I gave up looking and figured I would boat whore for the summer. Thea day after I gave up a buddy called me and said he saw a sceptre on boat trader. I went and looked and sure enough there it was. And only 15 hours away as opposed to 24-30 like most of the others, and it was a fresh water boat since new in Michigan. Called the guy the next morning early. Talked to him for a while and told him I would take it if he could wait 4 days so I could get a co-driver. He said no problem and turned down several offeres for more money in the mean time.
It was his baby, he bought it new at the Detroit boat show and drove to Fla to pick it up. After talking to him we realized that he was the same age (39) when he bought it. I reassured him it was going nowhere soon.
