1979 Sceptre

[abl1111]

For all who are interested in a 23' Scepter:

You should take a good look at this boat. I re-did a 23' Tsunami and can tell you that it came out awesome, however, this boat is even nicer and with a diesel. The amount of $$$ that I invested in my project boat came to just a few thousand under that asking price - and I was very, very shrewd w/ getting things at the right price. Not to mention that I did, w/ a fiberglass pro/friend, all of the work - all of it - too much to list. The thought of how much grinding and glassing and prepping I did - blows me away ! And, the trailer that came w/ my boat was sh_t.

I just figured I would add my experience. If I had known, then, what I know now....I would have waited for a boat like this and jumped on it - and just 'gone fishing'. But, I did not have the $ to blow up front, instead - it was a steady, slow 'bleed'.

Note: I did enjoy the project and it is very rewarding to be on a boat that I essentially re-did from the hull up - I know just about every screw on her. And, I did things the way I wanted. However, it was a lot of time and effort and if you want to have a Potter hull without all the work - then you have to pay for it.
