"Katrina" the Sceptre Restoration
Now that the weather isn't so hot, the restoration of "Katrina" is about to start. "Katrina" is a 1978 SeaCraft Sceptre 23 that was damaged in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, hence the name. This boat was originally purchased by NO BONES in 2006, he planned to restore her but other projects took priority. In January of 2011, After years of sitting at area 442, Ken decided to "donate" / pass the project on to any willing member of CSC.com that wanted to take it on at no charge. Well, I and another member "DUECE" were willing to take on the challenge and drove from South Carolina to Area 442 in Florida to pick it up.
We plan on MAJOR changes: 1) Enclose the transom 2) Add single engine bracket 3) Redo the "soft" floors 4) Fix the damage to the nose and front cap 5) Take the windshield off and convert it to a "SAVAGE / CC" 6) Repower (at a later date) So here goes....

I really want a 23, but have nowhere to put it. I saw myself in that hull. Can you see all the damage now? Feather back 12-1. ,more in the pointy end, but you know that already.
Cheers, GFS
