However I do have one story which may explain why they didn't sell more Sceptre 20's. Years ago a good friend of mine and his wife became converts to SeaCraft after a single ride out Palm Beach Inlet at WOT in 2-3' seas in my Seafari! They headed down to the Miami Boat show with the intent of buying a Sceptre 20. All the models were lined up with the transoms up against an elevated walkway. What they discovered was that the cockpits in the Sceptre and Seafari are almost the same size! (The bulkhead on the Sceptre is only about 6" further forward than it is in the Seafari.) Since the Seafari has an order of magnitude more storage in the big cabin up front, they ended up buying a brand new Seafari from Frank Brown in 1976! They had a couple of kids and decided that the Seafari was a better boat for the family because of the built in head and extra storage. And as great looking as the Sceptre is, they thought the Seafari looked even better and it didn't cost much more than the Sceptre! Denny

Have you seen heynow's 23' Sceptre I/O for sale without power? Just so you know, there are no 23' Seafaris, only 20s and 25s in that config. If you want a 25 you'll really have to hunt high and low since very few were built. There are definitely more 20 Seafaris and 23 Sceptre/Tsunamis around for reasonable money.

You have the SeaCraft bug really bad from what I can tell way over here in California. Perhaps you could check out a few of them and possibly ride on one before you decide on what to purchase. ![]() strick |

Name only. Around '73-74, SC had to change the name from Tsunami to Sceptre because there was already a boat company in FL with the same name.
