This boat was listed with Sceptre marine.  I guess that Sceptre agrees to list and resell boats the produce as all Sceptre's that I have seen listed are listed with them.

Sceptre arranged for me to meet with the owner and see the boat which was located in the SFO area.

I was impressed with how the boat was built and designed.  Upon looking the boat over very well I have concluded that these boats would make a great smaller cruising choice.  For Jacie and I we have decided upon something larger with an aft cabin.

In the Sceptre the forward cabin is the master berth.  This is OK but for our purposes we would like a bed that either person can get out of without crawling on the other.  This is not possible in the Sceptre.  

As for the pilot house it is very nice and well constructed.  The pilot house allows great visibility and openness in the main cabin.  This is a great living area for a boat this size.

Conclusion on this model is that it would be a great choice for someone who is cruising alone or does not want super live aboard comforts and a layout to match.  These are great boats do not get me wrong.  Just not for us currently.

I am happy to speak very frankly about sailing, living aboard, living in the Caribbean, leaving the US system, or any other topic you want to discuss. I have watched many people come and go from boating in the time I have been living aboard, both those living on smaller boats and those living on 110 foot mega yachts. It seems that many people come expecting tropical paradise and are shocked to find paradise is not always what you see in the pictures but includes some mosquitoes, huge bugs, poverty, stray dogs, crime, drugs, and many other problems left out of the tourist photos.
