1979 23ft Sceptre Rebuild

[dginge]

Greetings guys
I will be following this boat progress very closely bc selfishly it’s what I own. Ha. This is exactly what was done to my boat to the T. I do have a few questions so far.
1) I didn’t think that these boats had a coffin box that the tank sat in. This one looks like it did before you removed it. Did you notice if it had a factory drain hole in it for unwanted water or fuel to get out?
2) capt chuck, what are you referring to about the PVC in center stringer. I’m interested about that.

I would definitely raise the floor and put drains out the side. That’s what mine has and it works pretty good but I leave mine plugged until I get a rain storm or need to drain a cooler.


Keep up the good work. Sorry I’m not much help.

Thanks
