Default Which year and model is this SC 23'?

Can someone tell me which year and model this boat is? When the rebuild was done they decided to put the livewell in front of the CC obviously to balance the boat for twin engines. But I have not seen this front fish box and floor compartment design. Can anyone shed some light on this? Plus no inside hand/guard rail. Its says SECR3126M74A, so I assume 1974...

I believe this was either a 23' Sceptre/Tsunami or a 23' Savage that has had the cap replaced with one similar to the 23' SF (I say similar because there is no recessed forward handrail; pictures make to difficult to see other differences). The foredeck and hatch arrangement is definitely that of the Sceptre/Tsunami/Savage inner liner. Can't help with the exact year but will guess this it is from the '70's somewhere. Hope this helps.

Opps, just saw the hull number; it is a 1974 hull anyway.

Yeah, '74. Looks like it's been adapted, a lot. Transom probably redone. The ser. No has been removed and then reattached with rivets. Originally That tag would have been stamped into the upper right hand corner of the transom. not sure what I'm Seeing in the pictures, but assuming that is the original s/n, that boat used to be a Sceptre. I think that's what the R represents.

It's a 1974 Tsunami/Sceptre with an original I/O configuration with a lot of modifications, especially the cap. The riveted on serial number is a give away that the transom has been modified, most likely done from the outside. From the limited pics, it looks like a nice boat.
