What year Sceptre? The later ones with the glass seat boxes were apparently more bow heavy and would tolerate the CG shift of a bracket better than the lighter 70's vintage Potter era models with balsa core decks instead of plywood used in later models. Some guys doing restorations on Sceptres have found pig iron ballast under the decks in the stern, so best to check for that using a Boy Scout compass and remove it if found.
2000 vintage motors would be made by BRP, so good motors that might have decent resale/trade in value unless they're Fichts. Trading all 3 in on a new big single would give you less weight, better reliability, and much longer range. Suzuki seems to be selling the 250/300 4 strokes relatively cheap, or you could check out the G2 E-TEC if you want lowest fuel burn.
