79 Seacraft Sceptre pics

[Brooks Reid]

Here are some before and after pics of my 1979 Seacraft Sceptre. The pictures show the boat as it was when I purchased it back in April of 2013 and more recent pictures of the same boat with the new Bimini top and front Isinglass. The canvas work was done by LHG Marine (formally Smittys) in Homestead Florida. The boat was a one owner boat and pretty well cared for when I purchased it in 2013. I did not have to do any major work. The deck was solid and the hull never had bottom paint. The gelcoat just required some buffing to bring it back to a shine. I did a lot of refitting, replacing and fixing. It had an older Evinrude "Too Thirsty Five" that was in pretty bad shape which I changed out to a very clean 95 Merc 225. I replaced the original fuel tank with a new tank made by Sunshine and I did some fiberglass work done to bring it back to great condition. Here are some pictures of the new top and the old blue top. Also there is a picture of the boat the way it was when I purchased it with bow rail. I've also included a link to Photobucket for more pictures of the boat.
