How to interpret an ad for a Sceptre

Ok, so that sounds fine. I was worried about getting in there and finding my 6' self in a 5'8" bunk or something . Aside from the sun, I think it is much more alluring to my better half to have the option of going to lie down for a few minutes, taking a nap, or just getting out of the heat. Whether or not it is used for overnighting or at all for that matter it becomes a much easier sell.

That is exactly the kind of setup that I would be looking for. Basically when you want shade you really want shade from the sun (as you well know). I have to say that it says a lot about a boat/hull design that when you look at it 30 years apart in pictures you still think it looks great! From what I've noticed there are plenty of boats from the 70's that look positively outdated when you look at them now. I don't think any of the SeaCrafts (or Mako's too, for that matter) really look outdated. Plus it's pretty crazy the features that they came with (I was reading through the documentation on this site) for that time... they sound like any current boat and must have been way ahead of the times back then.
