The people at Scout Boats are truly passionate about creating a world-class boating experience. From initial design to the construction process to customer service, we do things differently, creating high-end fishing boats that are a true joy from the dealership to the water.
IN-HOUSE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Most boat manufacturers start their process by hiring out the development stage. This is especially true for the hulls, as most boat-builders find it more cost-effective and efficient to hire someone to design the hull for them. They can then take the hull, which was built to a size they need, and craft the boat on top of that foundation.
Scout, however, chooses to design all of our boats in-house, including the hulls. We have an advanced research and development team that works to create unique, one-of-a-kind hulls that give the craft better ride quality and performance. We also have different hulls designed for various sizes, giving each size category the performance it deserves.
100% HAND-LAID CONSTRUCTION
One way to build a boat is “chopping.” In this technique, you have an individual with a spray gun that delivers fiberglass into a mold. The sprayer determines the thickness, which leaves the potential for human error. The other technique is to hand lay the fiberglass. Many companies, unfortunately, chop a large portion of their boat, then do a few sections of hand-laid, and call it “hand-laid.”
Many boat companies say their boats are hand-laid, and while this might be true, vessels from Scout Boats are 100% hand-laid, including the hulls, decks, and boxes. This means that the strength-to-weight ratio is superior and there is almost no variation from one to the other.
FINISHING THE DETAILS
Adding the final finishes, such as cleaning and polishing, to the exterior of a boat is important to virtually all boat manufacturers. But Scout once again takes it to a higher level. We don’t just clean the areas you see from the sales floor, we take the time to clean areas like the inside of the hull and live well, areas that you won’t see unless you lift the lid.
ELITE DEALER NETWORK
We are fully aware that to excel as a manufacturer of high end fishing boats, we have to have an elite sales force. While some manufacturers are perfectly happy letting any dealership group sell their boats, we are extremely meticulous about our sales network, which in many ways is the face of our brand.
We put so much pride and effort into every model, so we make sure that all the dealers who sell our boats meet the highest level of service, communication, and reliability. We don’t just focus on creating boats, we make sure you have a world-class buying experience through our outstanding dealer network.
