Scout's totally revolutionary hull design is the first ever to incorporate three increasing angles of attack moving outward from the keel toward the chine. The result of this all-new design is felt immediately....faster time to plane, smoother more stable ride quality in all sea conditions, unsurpassed spray deflection, improved responsiveness and overall handling, not to mention much better fuel economy when compared to other deep-V hulls. Here's how it works....Example: 260SF - First a 21 degree deadrise extends from the keel to the first lifting strake allowing the boat to plane more quickly and run extremely efficiently at cruising and top speeds. The second angle runs between the first and second lifting strake in the middle portion of the hull and increases to a more aggressive 22 degrees providing more stability in rougher conditions and superior spray deflection. Finally, a 23.5 degree deadrise runs from the second lifting strake to the chine which further reduces pounding in heavy chop and swells and, in conjunction with a radical chine angle and flared bow, provides an unsurpassed dry ride. Compare and you will quickly find that Scout's equipped models outperform the competition hands down in nearly every category.
