I have previously owned a 1974 20'cc and a 1973 23'cc.I have alway been able to find lots of articles about both of these boats as well as the 23' Sceptre.I recently purchased a 1974 Seacraft Sceptre 20' and am surprised at the lack of information about these boats.Did the 20'Sceptre have a short production run?There are very few articles on this site or anywhere else about this model.Looking for some information about these boats.

Looks like they were the rarest of all the 20' models. Check out these links to the literature section - lots of good info there that many folks on the forum don't even seem to know about! Production numbers 79 Brochure
There is also a cross section view of all the later models in the Specifications link. Check out the Sceptre 23 Hardtop/Flybridge models! Anyone ever seen one of these?!

I had a 1977 20ft Sceptre, it was a very unique boat. I had a 200 Yamaha on it and didn't really have any problems with the wet deck syndrome.

Hanging a newer and heavier motor on the transom, thus, allowing water to enter the deck from the drains/scuppers.

Of course, the real rarity is the 27' SeaVette, to which Carl only admits to 3 being "officially" produced in '68. As I recall, Carl mentioned specs like 27' long, 10' beam, twin 370 hp Big-block Mercruisers pushing through MercTrans TR drives with counter-rotating SSM lower units. (DROOL!!!)
