23 SeaCraft Tsunami Rebuild?

IMO the cuddy would only benefit the family. A little shade, a little napping space, changing, sunning on the cuddy cap, camping, toy-towing, etc. ...It'll help the wallet, too - much less modification work.

Good luck with your decision. The Sceptre/Tsunami is really a great all-around family boat, much better for that than a cc which is pretty purely fishing oriented.

Cheers, and welcome aboard.

I have always owned CC boats so this will be a new design for me. Any thoughts or pics you can share? I would like to have a hard top and I need seating for at least 5-6pppl, easy access to the bow. I will use an outboard on a bracket to power the boat. I would be open to removing the windshield or replacing it to give the boat an updated or sleeker design. Does anyone have any pics of the cuddly area?

I really need help with the layout and design on this one! Thanks for all the thoughts so far!

$1K is fine. Keep the cuddy and just add a center console like the savage model. Best of both worlds.

This actually always strike me as the worst of both worlds. Even with the Savage setup, bow access is less than optimal, you lose the shelter of the windshield and you eat up a ton of open cockpit space. Doesn't a large console with a head accomplish all the pluses of the Savage with less wasted space? No one is really sleeping in that cuddy are they?

Keep it as is. I have one and it has been great for our family.
