I like my little 20 sceptre as well. But like No Bones said, you need at least 2 or 3...lol


The sceptre is a good all around boat. Drier riding, better balanced with an heaver outboard, lots of open space, good amount of storage and sometimes you can find them cheaper. Lots of people like the cc's and having one has became a popular craze. A cc dose has its advantages. They work great for fishing in any position or walking that big fish around the boat when he is still green at the side circling around. Having the lower front casting area in a cc is nice when fishing. It feels safer with the sides even though I do stand on the nose of my sceptre and cast fish (haven went in yet but been close). I think if you going out on your own or with just one friend a cc is nice most days but more than 2 people a sceptre may work better. Need a place to lay down out of the sun, a seafari may be better.

I was in the open part of the NC sound a few weeks ago and it got ruff enough I couldn't keep the nose up and got fairly wet in the 20 sceptre due to the cross winds. The bow pushed most of the spray water away but with the following sea the bow was plunging in fairly deep when I couldn't get a good angle approaching the bay. I remember thinking "glad im not further back in a cc right now in the middle of all that spray" I also remember thinking: "I didn't think I really needed that windshield but right now it would be nice". It was still a good ride being I was in a SC, soft entry even though it was a washing machine that evening.

I think what hull a person chooses has a lot to do with where you are located and what you want to do. Here in NC you can do some offshore stuff with a 20 but really you need a 23+ to be safe. You may want a 25 seafari if you want to overnight comfortable. A 20 is great inshore and in the rivers. The big SC 27 would make a beast of a offshore battle wagon. You got to be prepared for what you want to do. You cant have too many SeaCraft's is what im trying to say.lol
