Another Sceptre being saved from rotting away............good for you !

With these ( and some other classics) now aged upwards of 40 + years, I'm sure very hard to find " original condition" without wood related rot.

Even if the skin looks great, stringers, transom, tank areas.........moisture, heat, cold, for 40 years and wood turns to soil !

Only the original Moesly 21 had wood stringers. All later SeaCrafts have FIBERGLASS stringers!

Yeh well then the transoms are rotted away.......... and the wood, like soil.

It looks like they cut out what was left of the original transom along the sides and bottom edges. Are they wrapping glass outside the cut to tie it all together?
