An outboard boat motor can be large, heavy, and powerful. Not only will it put a lot of weight on the back or the boat, it will push a massive amount of force into the structure of the hull. For this reason, strong, reliable construction is essential, especially for larger boats that may be carrying three or four outboard motors for excessive amounts of power.
Scout is dedicated to building the finest boats on the water, and one of the ways we have achieved this is through our innovative Strata-Mount design.
Designed for Strength
When multiple engines are mounted to a boat, it creates strain that can slowly wear away the integrity of the hull. We recognized this issue and set out to create a design that would enhance the strength and integrity of a vessel. With the development of our Strata-Mount, we have accomplished our goal of strength and reliability. With a more strategic design, our boats can hold up while using bigger, heavier motors that may damage other boats. Thanks to intelligent engineering, you can rest assured that a Scout is built to last.
We developed the Strata-Mount system to withstand the weight and force of multiple heavy and powerful engines by using two main longitudinal grid stringers that pass through the transom, which is essentially the back wall of the boat. These stringers are integrated into the engine mount, which allows the weight and force of the engines to be spread out over a larger area, reducing the stress on any single point. Not only will this increase the strength and durability of your boat, it will also enhance your performance on the water.
Stringer Grid System
With a Strata-Mount system, we have not only enhanced the strength of the engine mounting, we have also enhanced the strength of the swim platforms. We also use state-of-the-art components, including materials that are used in composite aircraft.
Our stringer grid system is designed to function like a backbone for your boat. Without a strong backbone, your body wouldn’t have the strength to stand and hold up your head. The same basic principle is in effect for boats, so we made sure that the Strata-Mount design gives your boat plenty of strength from front to back.
Our Strata-Mount system is designed specifically for larger boats like the 225 XSF Sportfish. It is made entirely from a factory-molded bracket that allows the stringers to pass through the transom. Thanks to innovative engineering, the system works with the engine mounts as if they were a single piece.
