Mark,
Sorry for he slow reply. It will, finalizing some work and a reporter. I made the mistake of thinking it would be fun to do some of the work myself and of course that has slowed progress to a crawl. Will post pictures once all is done.

Take care and good luck with selling that beautiful boat.

Hi Scott

I still have the Hobie Power skiff that I've had for 20 years or better. I'm holding on to it.

I've had the Sceptre for 10 years. My kids are now grown, both in College, my wife has litle interest and I don't really get the time in I'd like.

I wish I could preserve the Seacraft in a climate controlled warhouse somewhere till retirement but that's 10 years or better for me.

Not much action on the current price. I't's going in the water Friday so I'll get to run in the new engine some more take some current photos and start adjusting the price to the market. I may even put it together with an '05 F-350 dually and a package and see if that strikes any interst.

Thanks

I will take some more current pictures. The boat is now all back together in the water, exept for the cabin door which is getting some more varnish.
