About Scout Boats
The quality begins with Scout Boats in-house design team. While it may be the marine industry norm to sub-contract prototype/design work, Scout Boats believe you simply can't expect true forward-thinking design from a manufacturer that lets someone else do the thinking, especially when such firms “think” for a variety of boat builders. Each Scout hull is an original design; there are no cookie-cutters here! their in-house research and design team works closely with engineering to take concepts from blueprint to production much more efficiently, ultimately delivering new product to the customer in less time than most of the competition. This approach keeps Scout Boats on the frontier of new product development. Their superior construction schedule includes a combination of multi- directional laminate materials, which assure maximum strength while keeping excess weight to a minimum. Every layer of glass is custom-cut to fit a specific hull. Once the hull has been hand-laid it stays in the mold for an entire day while the single deck/stringer piece is lowered into place, virtually eliminating any chance for warping or distortion. Thanks to Scout Boats reverse shoebox design, the deck actually fits inside the hull. The chemical bond of the deck and stringer system reduces the chance for hull/deck separation while maximizing overall strength. There is no wood used anywhere in the construction of any Scout boat, so there's nothing to rot. (Translation: longer life and less maintenance!) Every transom is polished and uncapped, reducing the chance for separation or damage. Even the fiberglass doors, hatches, and consoles are fully finished with gelcoat on both sides. From a performance perspective, Scout Boats cutting-edge Air-Assist hull reduces drag, allows for better fuel economy, and is faster to plane.
