This is an Australian built craft.  Engines and tankage are midships, which
Sceptre claims helps eliminate 'squatting' and 'hobby-horsing'; characteristics
claimed to be common to power cats with propulsion astern.  I was taken aback
by the fact that the single head is accesible ONLY from the cockpit?!  This
may be a limitation of the midship power/tankage arrangement?  Any input/info
would be appreciated, particularly any personal experience with this craft.
Thanks!!  Jon Karna

Any idea where on the Web we can take a look at this power cat? A
quick Google doesn't bring up anything.
