If it's an outboard version, it will also have a 50 gal gas tank instead of 34-35 gal. that was standard on the earlier version. After you finish your 20' Sceptre, you'll find that the Seafari cockpit is only about 6" shorter, and it's got a whole lot more dry storage room in the cabin. It's really a very versatile model.

I'm very impressed with all the room on it vs the scepter. Way way more room up front. I think two people could actually sleep in the cabin area. Hope it has the higher deck height. I will check the scuppers to see if they look deeper than the older style ones. I knew the did the deck but didn't know about the windshield move. It is an outboard so maybe a larger tank. I checked the vin and it is a 1974. What year did they make the changes? Neat information, don't know much about this model and appreciate the info. I like the lay out and see why so many people like it.
