One of 15 Savage models built with straight inboard configuration, all built between 1976 and 1978 according to the production records on this site. This hull is one of five launched in 1978, the final year of production for the Savage inboard.

Nearly everything on the boat has been replaced new since I purchased it in 2010. Below are some highlights and I’ve done many more miscellaneous upgrades not listed. Everything has been done with function, form and durability in mind. This is an excellent 23’ boat that has handled everything the sea has thrown at her since I’ve owned her. She has served me well and I hope her new owner enjoys her as much as I have.

Thanks for looking. Please call me with any questions at 857.526.2659 - Mike

Wow, I wish I had the $$$$ for this one. Absolutely beautiful.

Makes me want to hold onto my Sceptre for the long run and do a conversion later on down the line with brackets outboards on the back.....

[zendora]

Thank you all for the nice comments. I hate to part with her but I'm ready for something a bit bigger. She'll make someone very happy.

Zendora,

Where in weymouth did you keep it? I'm up the Quincy River at Town River Marina. Surprised I never saw it on the water, I sure would have remembered seeing that SC on the water.

[zendora]

John, I kept it at Marina Bay in Quincy last summer.

Here are a few more pics:

Cuddy loaded up for a trip south of the Vineyard last summer. Kept the boat at Kingman in North Falmouth for annual vacation and ventured roughly 75nm from the dock, fished the dump out to the shipping lanes on a FAC day. Took a small BFT at the dump, several mahi off high fliers and released a white marlin. That is to say, this is a very very capable boat.

Great pictures thanks for posting them.

I think I have my future project in mind once the Sceptre runs its course.

Great layout and it looks like a fishing machine.
