1975 Sceptre Inboard

[MarkR]

This is last Friday on the trailer and the pull truck, which by the way is also available. A package deal for the Sceptre and '05 F350 Dually is possible.

Offers welcome

Wow! So nice and original looking!

That dually should have no problems towing it.

It's been a few months. These boats apparently don't have the value they once did.. I'm looking for opinions. Is this more like a $10k boat? Boat/trailer and new power. Seems like alot of boat for the money if that's true.

A 50HP etec outboard is probably $7k, and it only weighs 100 pounds!

I think you have a nice boat here, and its just a matter of different factors. I saw a nice Seacraft 20 with a Yamaha 150 motor and a new gas tank and enclosed transom etc, many nice options and he only wanted 11,500 and it still took him 3 months to sell it. I thought at that price it would sell in a week. So my advice is be patient, the right buyer will come along it just may take awhile.

Mark, I have e mailed me, and quite frankly I think you just have to be patient. I think the center consoles do bring a much higher demand. If I could sell my Mako, you and I would be negotiating. There is a 75 scepter here in central jersey asking only 7k, however your boat is in a much higher class with all of your upgrades. Check out his craigslist post in central jersey under Seacraft. "There is an ass for every seat". Be patient.

I just have to say that it just looks so so nice sitting on that trailer,these things are so timeless in their looks.That is one beautiful boat.

I'm trying to figure out why in that picture on the trailer it looks more sleek than my Tsunami.It must be that top on mine that makes it look "fatter".either that,or I just suck at taking pictures.
Anyway If I was in your shoes,I'd keep it on the market and hold out for what you want.I honestly believe that it's not that Seacrafts aren't getting the dollars,it's the entire boat market.
This bunch of nuts in charge of the country have done a great job of making the economy worse and worse,especially when it comes to things like boats.

Mark, just had to agree and say that is one beautiful boat! I have to admit when I saw her up for sale I was a little upset being that I am not position to buy her. My opinion, slowly drop price in 500 increments till you get a good bite. Good luck!

Straight shaft boat? You have any pics of the motor in the engine compartment and the hull showing the drive or shaft setup?

I found a survey report I had done in 2008 that I forgot I had. The survey was done as an evaluation for insurance purposes and to have a second opinion on the condition. At the time the boat was valued at $17,500 with a replacement value of $65,000.

With weather potentially on the way and only about 16 hours of run time this year it may be time to wrap it up for the season. Last call. $17,000.
