I only know the 73 Seafari outboard and the 74 Tsunami i/o. Is the transom on your Sceptre original? I don't recall, on the Seafari, the motor cut-out being so wide.

That's the standard transom cutout for all 23' OB's regardless of model up to the Tracker years. Not sure about '87 on though. The Seafari came in 20' and 25' models. The 20' wouldn't have had an opening that wide and I don't believe the 25' ever came in an OB config.

Thats how my transom is on my 76

My 1977 Sceptre 23 looks the same too.

Sorry. My mistake. No wonder I was confused, as I thought this was a 20 Scepter, which made me wonder what kind of boat owner would put 2 140hp engines on the back, with such a huge cutout.
Thanks for the quick clarification.

When did Seacraft drop the Tsunami name for the Sceptre?

I believe 75 was the first year of Scepters

That's what had me confused. He says this is a 74 Sceptre...My dad's 74 23' was called a Tsunami!

There was some copywright issue that caused the name change
