23' Sceptre 1987

[TRS2000]

Looking for advice:

I have been searching for a 23' SeaCraft for the past couple of years. I would prefere an open fish. The family would like a small cabin so the
compromise is the 23 Sceptre. I found this boat in CT (see link below) and looks real clean with a new motor. Price is little high. Based on your
knowledge is this year a good year. The boat Hull Id shows SICR 87. I beleive this is prior to Tracker purchasing SeaCraft in the 1980's. Not
sure if this would be a wise choice. I am also looking at 1980 23' Tsunami in Boston, Cape Cod. I would really apreciate your thoughts.

1. I'd pick the 1980 over the 87
2. I'm not a merc man [sorry scott]
3. broker's get to much $ to do nothing.
they take your $ and say have a nice
day, and oh by the way your on your
own , any problem's don't call us.
4. you should be able to find a cuddy for
alot less than 25g's.but then again I
don't know if your looking to find one
that's turn key. or you want one to
fix up.
5. any more details on the 1980
6. a few more details on how much you
you want to spend, how far you will
travel, i'm sure we'll all keep an eye
out for you, and when may you need
need this boat.........steve....PS.

Thanks Steve

The 23' Tsunami appears to be located by you. Here is the link. We have been looking at new and used boats. Not sure which way to go. I used to be a marine mechanic in the 80's and also sold SeaCraft boats on Long Island. We would like to purchase a boat by June of this year. Travel is not a problem. Getting the boat back to Long Island maybe. I apreciate your reply and your help.

We are on the Great South Bay.

What are some pro's and cons for the 1980 versus the 1987 model. Even if price were the same?

Thanks
