Re: 23 Sceptre vs 23 CC ride delivery
BARNABY55,
I'm not sure I would agree. About 2 months ago I got to follow a 23' Scepter I/O (don't know the year but probably late 70's) out of Port Canaveral in close spaced 2-3 foot seas. That boat did very well. The I/O puts the center of gravity low in in the middle of the boat. I believe these are also more stable at rest/anchor as the motor acts a ballist, where my 472 pound outboard sits up on top of the transom. Actually, the more I think about it, they may just ride different, not one better than the other. One thing is for sure, the I/O uses less gas than I do, but I run alot faster than he does. It just depends on what you are looking for. Slow stable cruise with fuel economy, or speed.
BTW, there is a thread that talks about this somewhere regarding the ride qualities of the CC vs the Cuddy/WA models. I will try to dig it up.
