My new 20' Sceptre---minor rennovations etc

[fdheld34]

After selling my 23 Mako, I decided to go back to another Seacraft. I picked up a 1978 20' Sceptre with a Yamaha 115 hp. I plan on redoing the transom to 25" but for now I plan on just getting it water ready. I was able to get it running but will have to work on the trim and tilt. I might just hang on to this one.
First thing I did was update the seating with some new pedistals and Pompanette chairs I had in the garage. Next step I am going to repaint the motor cover/ decals etc..

Welcome back from the dark side, Fred.
Unfortunately Strick already went dark blue on his lil Sceptre so you'll have to diversify

I've gotta say, NoBones might hold the record for # of boats at one time, but Fred may hold the record for # of boats he's bought/sold over the past few years. I've honestly lost track of what you've had.

The 20 sceptres are cute little bastards..... arn't they? I'm with Scott I have lost track of all your boat doings. Never remember anything about a Mako. There was a 25 foot something that you bought a while back? Anyway you are a true seacrafter and we wont hold it against you that you like to try some different boat booty once in a while.

Hey Strick, I'm happy you specified "boat booty"!!! Without that magic word "boat", it had trouble written all over it! Good one.

Strick,

Freddie is a county property appraiser......
He is lurking in places that we are not privie too......

How do you think I got that 20 SF left for dead a couple of
years ago!!

Fred, you know we are just breakin' your chops!!!!

Keep on searchin' ... that Scampi is out there!

[gofastsandman]

I`ll take Ben on that. Now, I`m not saying he wont buy another boat in this time frame, just that he will still have the 20 sceptre.
