Dear Scout, We took delivery of a beautiful 205 Sportfish late last year and have been 100% happy with the boat! We were downsizing from a 26 foot Deep Vee flybridge due to the increased cost of mooring and on-water fuel, together with the wish to own a more manueverable...
Dear Scout, This past weekend we put your 220 Bay Scout under a rigorous field test. It appears that this particular model is one of the most buoyant boats Scout has ever produced. Nick Christ / Don Capodanno – Chas. SC
Dear Scout, Scout Boats truly puts incredible thought into the needs of hardcore fisherman when they build these boats. Our Abaco was designed with the idea of comfort, safety, and fishability thus allowing me to take 40 and 50 hour trips with 4 people. The boat has plenty of room...
Dear Scout, We took 1st Place in the Cobia division at the 2008 St. Marys Saltwater Classic Series Tournament on June 28, 2008 with our 38.74 lb. Cobia. We also caught three kingfish as well. Our crew consisted of Jerre Brumbelow, Matthew Barker, Zachary Marx and Gregg Marx, and we...
Dear Scout, My new Scout 282 Sportfish is working really well. With less than 20 hours of trolling time on the boat, I’ve already caught and released four blue marlin; and my Scout garners great comments from both people on the boat or just passing by. They compliment the lines,...
Dear Scout, The Scout 187 Sportfish was part of a learning exercise Montessori School. We conducted approximately 20 minutes of “Boating 101”. Fun stuff! Tom Mack South Shore Marine
I have had my Bay Scout 200 for four years now and I can safely say it is the best bay boat on the market today. I run boats for a living and the Bay 200 is the ultimate fishing machine. I guide on the Chesapeake Bay and Mobjack Bay...
12 Months with the Scout Sportfish 145 The US built range of Scout boats is a fairly new addition to Australia’s marine market and all early reports are good. But how does one fair after a year of punishment? I’ve taken a Sportfish 145 and put it through its paces...
Scout Boats, I drew a sketch of my boat, “BY THE MILE” to have it screen printed on some custom t-shirts I have ordered. It’s a 2004 280 Abaco Series. I have thoroughly enjoyed the boat. It’s been a fish killer. Steadman Taylor Broadleaf Contracting, Inc.
Yesterday, March 26, 2008, my friends and I decided to take my 185 Dorado out for our first Lake Michigan fishing trip of the year. The ice blew in and jammed us up tight in the channel. I looked at be friends and said, “It’s a Scout, we’ll be fine”....
Dear Scout, I am still in love with my boat. With the increasing popularity that center consoles are enjoying in this area, many of the bass fishermen are beginning to appreciate the 360 degree fishing that the center console provides. In addition, this area is seeing a rapid growth in...
Dear Scout, For an all-around fishing boat here in Florida, Scout is the best. I can go through shallows and the intercoastal waterways or troll on the gulf. It is a safe boat and is tops in performance. I got my scout in 2002 with the 100 hp when they...
Dear Scout, I am from Louisiana and love to fish the brackish waters of the marsh. I purchased my Scout 172 Sportfish new back in 1996. It is a 1997 model with a Yamaha 115 2-stroke that came factory rigged. It is by far the best boat that I have...
Dear Scout, We spent almost 2 full years looking at flats boats. Then in May 2006 we stumbled across the 170 Costa and our search was over! We truly found our dream boat. My wife, son and I use it regularly to fish in Flamingo and the Florida Keys. Chasing...
by Captain Gary Henderson Fishing is my religion. Pure and simple. As I look back at little over a half-century of my life, I often replay the memories I’ve stored up of this sport I became so involved in. It was all because of my dad, and it started out...
Dear Scout, A couple of friends and I recently (Feb/2007) purchased a 2001 280 Abaco Series. We have always had center consoles and were a little reluctant going to on an express style boat. Well, to say that we have enjoyed our boat would be an understatement! It is the...
Dear Scout, Here is a picture of my Scout 280 Sportfish with a blue marlin. We won the Chub Cay Calcutta with this fish. Regards, Rick Schaa
Dear Scout, Glad to see your chronicles site has taken off very nicely in the past few years. I submitted one of the first stories as I moved from my 155 to my 210 scout. I’m writing again because you completely won me over with the new 262SF. As I...
Dear Scout, My Scout is a 1998 177SF boat with a Yamaha 115hp engine. I added the platform. This is my family in Key west Lobstering (my wife, Lisa , daughter Annie and son Alex in 2002) during Mini season. The serious bug harvest that day was by me. Good...
Dear Scout, Greetings from Finland. Our fishing club had its annual fall fishing trip in the Gulf of Finland. The target species was northern pike. This time we were fishing an area unknown to all of us. In the beginning of the first day I decided to take a long...
Dear Scout, This was the 11th summer for our Scout 172 Sportfish. It still has all the original equipment, 115 Yamaha engine, bimini top, ski bar, pedestal chairs and Gator trailer. It has been a great ski boat, creek boat, jetties boat and offshore boat. It has met all my...
Dear Scout, I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 SCOUT 160 SPORTFISH THAT A FRIEND STEERED ME TO. I WAS LOOKING TO UPGRADE AND HAVE CHECKED OUT SEVERAL BOATS IN THE 16FT CLASS. ALL HAD ONE SHORT COMING OR ANOTHER, BUT THEN I SAW THE SCOUT. THE FIT AND FINISH IS BETTER...
Dear Scout, The name of our boat is the Water Marx.I purchased the boat in Jacksonville, Fl. from a dealership and a good friend Crews “N” II Outboard. It is a Scout 202 Sportfish with a 150 HPDI Yamaha motor. The 202 is just the right size to fish 4...
