1982 23' SeaCraft Sceptre - Page 4

Don't you mean a 25' Seafari?

I'd like the 27' Flybridge made from '68 - '73, repowered with twin 170 hp turbo-diesel Merc/Yanmar sterndrives. They weigh just 16lbs a piece more than the original 165hp (prop-rated) Merc gas sterndrives, and use about 1/4 to 1/3 the amount of fuel.

Hey, a guy can dream, right?

Wonder what ever happened to that 27 that was for sale in Texas? Can't find the link anymore.

Fr. Frank, actually I did mean 23' Seafari. I think a 23' version of the Seafari would be ideal. I might even put one together some day

It would mean finding a donor 20' Seafari with a good cabin, windshield, etc, and a 23' Sceptre/ Tsunami ready for some plastic surgery.

Ya' know, the more I think about that, the better it sounds. You'd end up with a wider gunwale top around the cabin because of the difference in beam, making it much easier to walk from the cockpit to the bow, which would also make it much more fishable, while keeping the amazing good looks of the Seafari.

Someone from this area, maybe Jupiter, posted something here a few month ago that they were going to destroy a Seafari

by trying to make it into a CC. (Why destroy one of the rarest and unique models made when there are LOTS of CC's out there?!) There may be a Seafari cap available if he still has it!

Denny..He is located in Palm Bch Gdns area...nice guy..I was able to get cuddy windows and some windshield glass from his seafari//center console?!?!..He does have the cuddy top portion but I believe he cut it out somehow leaving a portion of the top cap?! Bet someone could get it from him and definately utilize it to come up with a 23 seafari!!!
