Got a nearly mint 96' Wellcraft V21 with same year Evinrude 150 hp looper, approx. 180hrs. Boat's in exceptional condition, .......... and I like it.
Ride characteristic before I installed tabs was fair to average. Would pound like any V bottom boat in 2' + chop on plane.
With the trim tabs - way improved ride. Keeps the bow down to to cut and slice through chop - running without pounding. A huge difference.
I've had 4 boats, from cuddy to center console and may even keep the V.
I've always liked what I read about the Seacraft 23's......and I like the layout of the Sceptre. It's more of an ocean rig - greater range with 100 gallon tank and we do fish pretty hard off the NJ coast. I still trailer chasing the bite from northern NJ to southern so I also like that it's easily trailerable.
So, the sceptre may be my " perfect boat " which I why I'll likely run around on one to see for myself.
