1973 Seacraft Tsunami/Sceptre (Cuddy) - Excellent Condition - Potter Hull

[tampaseacraft23]

Edited to add price: 15k.

This is my stepfather's boat of 45 years which we are selling because he never uses it any more now that kids and grandkids live in other cities. I have been keeping the boat in Tampa, FL and using it over the summer. We have enjoyed it and are moving up to a bigger, newer boat for my family with 4 young children. My stepfather will be sad to see this one go with so many memories -- we have taken this boat the Bahamas several times, I caught my first sailfish on this boat, first mahi-mahi, first wahoo, etc.....

• Basics
  • 1973 Seacraft Tsunami/Sceptre: 23-foot cuddy cabin
  • Potter hull
  • Always garaged, covered, or high and dry—original top and cuddy cushions
  • Never bottom painted
  • Lovingly maintained by my stepfather who always treated her well over the last 45 years (!) and is only selling due to his older age and no children or grandchildren living in town to take boating; pretty sure only 1 previous owner before that
  • Turn-key and ready to run: my wife, young kids and I have enjoyed this boat over the summer and are buying a larger 33-foot express that is better suited to our family cruising needs with 4 young kids (seating etc.).
  • Comes with double-axle Rite-On trailer. Very well maintained, washed down meticulously after every dip, recently rebuilt.
  • In great overall condition and would really pop after a little cosmetic TLC
  • Located in Tampa, FL
