Default seacraft sceptre 23 With twin 150 yami 4 strokes

Hey guys.
The search continues. I've located a great boat. 1978 23 sceptre with a pair of
150's 4 strokes. They are on a bracket. How will the boat perform like this? Will
It be way to tailheavy? Looks like they wright 500 pounds a pair. Thanks so much for the info

I can't wait to hear the responses, I don't own a 23 yet. First questions by the professionals will be year, make and model of outboards and brand of bracket. Don't lose this one while waiting for responses. 1979 is last year of the Potter built hulls and Solid!!! Best of Luck. I know waiting for responses can be worse than Christmas Eve, but I'm expecting all positive feedback.

Wow! Need to know if transom was redone. Strange looking transom enclosure from an open transom, maybe twins, but the older 20" shafts. That would be my first concern, and if the transom was redone for current owner, next question; was the fuel tank replaced as well?

Default Shafts

Unless I'm not following you, Are you sure they are 20 inch shafts on there?
They look long to me. Did you mean to say 2" inch transome?

I had a '04 150 hp on my Pathfinder, never had an issue. The guy I sold it to said his dealer on the east coast was adamant it should be replaced when he took in in for service, I would call a Yamaha dealer/service tech and double check. Another reason I'm over Yamaha.
