Does the Sceptre dig in the bow with single outboard ?

My 20 wanders everywhere if I don't watch it, but I'm only going 5 mph - so what

Exactly Dixon! You want it to wander, just tilt the engine up at slow speeds, it will wander all over the place. All deep vee hulls do it.

Well, I wonder if that could be an indicator of age?

My 25 has a very slight wander, not as much as my 20SF. It's worse if I'm watching bikinis and end up over correcting. If I set the wheel and leave it alone, it's barely noticeable. I suspect others exacerbate the deep vee wander by over correcting whether they realize it or not. Like most boat handling issues, it comes down to seamanship.

So right, if I'm on the flats with it trimmed up and trying to rig something I look like I'm on crack or something.

As long as it tracks straight at fity I'm good
