Submit your offer today! 1978 Potter Built SeaCraft 23 Sceptre with a Yamaha 250 4 stroke outboard mounted on a Armstrong bracket. Step aboard this beautifully maintained 1978 Potter-Built SeaCraft Sceptre 23 Walkaround, a true classic with legendary performance and a modern twist. Powered by a 2022 Yamaha 250 F250XB four-stroke outboard mounted on an Armstrong bracket, this SeaCraft delivers smooth, efficient power with just 184 hours on the clock. The Potter-built hull is known for its exceptional ride and seaworthiness, and this one has been carefully preserved. It recently received its first-ever bottom paint, a Vivid finish with full barrier coat, applied in 2025. Up top, a Fishing Boats Unlimited tower gives you that elevated vantage point, while a full Isinglass enclosure and cockpit awning with removable sides and back make it comfortable in any weather. Inside, you'll find a clean, comfortable V-berth with updated cushions throughout. Navigation and fishing are handled by a Garmin GPS, radar, and fish finder, while a fiberglass bait tank, Lewmar windlass with a claw anchor, and large midships storage for dive bottles make it ideal for both fishing and diving adventures. Classic lines, updated power, and meticulous care make this 23-foot SeaCraft a standout example of the famous Potter-built legacy-- ready for the season.
