I saw JFK, Jr.'s 20' SF many times in Lewis Bay (Hyannis). Met him several times (and his uncle, usually at Baxter's). The 1978 23' Sceptre I have was originally ordered by JFK Jr.'s mother, Jacqueline, but was delivered to the dealer, Millway Marine (where we had our SeaCraft serviced), with the wrong color upholstery; bright yellow vs. white, it was ugly as hell and Mrs. Onassis refused delivery. my father was looking to upgrade our 1973 20' SF to a 23' Sceptre, asked John Cannady at Millway to swap the upholestery, and he ended up buying the boat (believe he still has the original bill of sale changing her name to his). I still have the boat and it is very much a member or my family; wrapping-up some work done by Metan Marine and a repower before it (hopefully) makes it back into the water this coming season.
