23 Sceptre Conversion to CC

[Surfnski]

Will take a LOT more time and labor to build a cap from scratch or modify the cuddy cap. And then there's the deck layout to deal with.
As someone that went down this road before, I would suggest finding a center console if that's what you're dead set on.
FWIW- I have the center console but kinda wish I had the sceptor some days, or maybe both lol!
Be prepared for a monumental project either way if you're doing the work yourself
