My Sceptre came with the one in the picture. I agree if you need a new one, go for the one that is more functional with curtains. For information sake, the "Navy top" is an option for a 1976 Sceptre, and you can have zippers put in it to stand at the helm, but I wouldn't recommend that route.

More Pics
Can anybody tell me if these old Seacrafts have foam flotation in them and whether the stringers are made from wood or some other material?
Also, what is a good cleaner to really give the cockpit floor a workover? I once used Soft Scrub and a bit of bleach to scrub the deck of a boat and it did great but what cleaning product/chemical is considered the best for this? OK, I'll try again to post some pictures. Below is a pic of the hull. I am really impressed with the condition of the hull. For a 35 year old boat, it looks great. I like the look of boats without a bow rail but they are just so practical for anybody on the front of the boat I will probably keep this one.  I really like the old school companion seat. When I was growing up we had a 17' Invader that had one of these. I think I will replace the captain's chair at the helm but have this companion seat recovered with the same pattern I will just change it to white. I will do the same with the combing pads along the gunwale.  More pics.......

All SeaCrafts have glass stringers and foam flotation except for the very first one, the Moesly 21, and it has so much glass over the stringers that Moesly said it wouldn't matter if the wood all rotted out because the glass provides so much strength! Not sure exactly when they started using foam flotation; must have been sometime in the late 60's. Two friends of mine had Moesly 21's, a '65 and a '67, and neither of them had any foam in them. (And a tremendous amount of below deck storage as a result!) A 1970 ad for the Seafari 20 on Carla's Moesly SeaCraft site, http://www.moeslyseacraft.com/upload...boating-ad.jpg mentions the use of spray-in foam and is the first mention I've seen of foam being used in SeaCrafts.
The Specification section on the second page of the attached 1973 Boating Magazine Test of the Sceptre/Tsunami contains lots of details on the laminate schedule and hull thickness!
