23" Scepter I/O performance

Denny,I think you're correct about there being enough weight forward on the Sceptre models to give them that flat running angle.I know that even without touching the tabs,I can get the boat to jump on plane extremely quick.
As you mentioned,the running differences between the I/O & OB model in that article are striking.The outboard was much higher out of the water.I would assume that if the same could be achieved with the I/O's,the speed would be increased significantly.

BTW,thanks again for that article. Funny, I just bought the original article from a seller on EBAY for $10.00.
I guess I didn't read the ad all that well,because he only sent me the article,not the entire magazine(1973 Boating).It's still kind of neat having the original article though.

Rod,That's about where mine rides as well.I'll bet you're glad you didn't remove the hardtop.She looks good.You should be receiving the light today or tomorrow,as UPS tracking says it's on time.
