Difference between Sceptre & Tsunami

gw204 · #1 01-14-2005, 02:49 PM

I know this has been posted here before, but I was unable to find the thread and gave up after about an hour of searching.

Can someone tell me was the difference between the Sceptre and the Tsunami is? Is one any more desireable that the other?

Just curious...

Thanks.

Same boat, Just the names had to be changed from Tsunami to Sceptre because of another boat company already having the Tsunami name I think?

That is correct.

Brian if you are thinking of getting one I know of a gentleman just north of you who will be putting his Tsunami on the market soon. It's a IO and the engine is new.. boat is in excellent condition. Asking around 12K for it.

An oldie but a goody. I think somewhere it got clarified that 73/74ish was the change over.

I have my original owners manual for my April 1979 Seafari 20 that shows all the models. They were Sceptre 20, SF20, Seafari 20, SF23, Tsunami 23, Seafari 25 and SF18. This manual says there was a Sceptre 20 and Tsunami 23 existing at the same time in 1979. Regards, Jim

You may have it in a manual, but I don't think you'll see a live tsunami after '74. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Oh well, that shoots that theory in the ass.

Somebody was smoking something at SC in the '70s because the '78 specs on the home page reference Sceptre, yet in '79 it references Tsunami. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Something ain't right.
