It's probably obvious, but thought I'd throw in that in addition to the difference in balance point between the Sceptre hull and a CC that Snookerd mentioned, the "moveable ballast" - people and gear - are typically also further forward while underway in a Sceptre than a CC. People at the helm, and junk in the trunk. We get on plane very easily and quickly, running just a Merc 150 4 stroke on an old non-floatation Armstrong bracket. I haven't tried to pin down exactly how slow it will maintain plane - fixing the trim tabs hasn't made it to the top of the list yet.
