WHY SCOUT BOATS?
Creating award-winning models that separate us from the industry mediocrity first starts with having the finest craftsmanship; unparalleled boat building experience that spans our entire manufacturing facility. Knowledge to know how to do things the right way. Talent to know how to do those things better. Courage to do the old things a new way. Every Scout team member that has a hand on your boat has pride and precision in what they’re building, and for whom they’re building.
Glide your fingertips anywhere across the model. Feel 100% hand-laid fiberglass construction, the luxury of the upholstery, the richness in the accents. Feel the clean design inside and out, all the way to the completely-finished bilges and underside of all doors, lids and hatches. Bow to stern, port to starboard, above deck and below, everywhere you look and touch you’re experiencing the Scout difference.
Standing at the helm, you feel the passion. Wrap your fingers around the steering wheel and you’re not just touching any boat. You’re engaging with a technologically advanced, fully crafted vessel that brings modernity and unconventional style together. The horsepower, the touch screens, the patents, the countless hours that have gone into designing and producing the very best coastal sportfishing boat in its class are now at your fingertips.
Are you aboard a boat, at the wheel of a high-performance luxury sports car, or inside a private jet? Questions you ask yourself as you tour our models and realize just how different Scout truly is from the competition.
SUPERIOR MANUFACTUERING
We’re more than just aesthetically-pleasing designs. It’s our innovative hulls and manufacturing techniques that further separate us from the competitors.
For the past five decades, there’s been minimal change in the ways boats have been built across the industry. Competitors’ use of chopper guns, inferior materials, and low quality standards – masked behind a “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” philosophy – is not something we’ve ever agreed with or been a part of. (Just another reason why all of our models have always been 100% hand-laid, with completely finished lids, hatches, and bilges.)
To provide a superior product, we developed innovative hull designs that are used across our line-up: NuV3, Air Assist, and Scout Stepped Hull Technology.
As we designed larger LXF’s, and our LXZ model (luxury center console and crossover models 33’ and up), we took a hard look at our manufacturing processes. We made a critical decision to introduce cutting-edge Epoxy Infusion and Carbon Epoxy Construction techniques into these highest-performing Scout Stepped Hull models, while simultaneously pairing them with the finest sophisticated blend of appointments and technologies. Our S-Class Series was born. S-Class signifies the upper echelon of our line-up – the highest level of luxury – similar to what you experience with high-end luxury automobiles. Our S-Class denotes the most superior model for our customers, and a pedestal for our competitors to chase.
INNOVATION
Our foundation is comprised of integrity and innovations.
We want to make your on-the-water experience like no other, so we continually develop trend-setting, clever designs that bring a modern, sophisticated edge to your boat. Improved efficiency and performance. Elevated comfort and safety. All creating a heightened status. Notable industry-first Innovations over the years include:
Reverse shoebox hull/deck design
Scout pioneered the first reverse-shoebox hull/deck design, which increases overall hull strength and prevents water from penetrating through the hull/deck joint in rough conditions. The eradication of all wood in the manufacturing process is also a Scout trademark, as it produces rot-free composite stringers and transoms.
Introduction of the industry’s first Hybrid model, as noted on Good Morning America
Scout Boats are the highest performing and most fuel efficient boats on the water. Period. Their gas-saving hulls (like the NuV3 and Air Assist hulls) are coupled with state-of-the-art outboard engine advancements. These ultra-efficient designs allow them to create the most technologically-advanced models that offer the best strength-to-weight ratio of any boat in its class. And all Scouts offer piece of mind with 10 year limited hull and 3 year limited stem-to-stern warranties.
Performance…Efficiency…& Style
We continually design and produce the highest performing and most fuel efficient boats on the water. Period. Our extremely efficient hulls (NuV3, Air Assist & Scout Stepped Hull Technology), coupled with state-of-the-art outboard engine advancements, have been repeatedly tested and proven to save you as much as double-digit percentages when it comes to fuel efficiency. This equates to big savings at the fuel dock. Furthermore, our ultra-efficient designs allow us to create the most technologically-advanced models that offer the best strength-to-weight ratio of any boats in their class.
- NuV3 hull design: ‘Convex’ design comprised of variable degree angles in the hull, offering immense fuel efficiency and the softest, driest ride in its class…all while maximizing performance.
- Air Assist hull design: Creates static stability; adds additional longitudinal buoyancy which enhances static floatation; decreases time to plane; and vastly improves overall handling characteristics with the added benefit of increased fuel economy.
- Scout Stepped Hull Technology: Reduces the hull’s wetted surface, creating a faster, dryer and better performing boat requiring less horsepower and increased fuel savings.
WARRANTY
Scout Boats is once again leading the industry by providing its owners the peace-of-mind of a comprehensive manufacturer backed 3-year limited stem to-stern warranty (in addition to Scout’s 10 year limited* structural transferable hull warranty). Scout Boats are built to such a high standard that it just made logical sense to back them for longer than other boat brands in the industry.
Owner Benefits
All claims will be handled through Scout’s authorized dealer network and are backed by the manufacturer (not an outside insurance company). What does that mean to you, the owner?
- Faster claim turnaround
- Confidence of knowing the manufacturer stands behind their product 100%
- Helps ensure higher resale/trade-in value
- Applies to complete Scout Boats line
FUEL EFFICIENCY
At Scout Boats, we take pride in creating high-quality boats that meet the needs of boaters all across the country. Part of what makes our boats so outstanding is the superior fuel-economy. We put meticulous time and effort into creating a hull that runs smoothly across the water, reducing drag and lifting the overall fuel-efficiency.
Just how efficient are our fishing boats, and what does that mean to you, the boat owner? It means less money going into the tank, and more time spent cruising along in your favorite craft. If you are an angler, it also means you can go further in your boat, reaching distant fishing holes that many other boats may not be able to reach.
