Customer Chronicles

My Scout boat made it through Hurricane Katrina in the city of New Orleans. It was on a trailer at my residence during the hurricane, just a mile from the levee breach. When the levee broke, 6ft of water flooded most of New Orleans, including my home. My Scout, tied down on the trailer with…

Dear Scout, I’ve been with the Green Lake County Sheriff’s Department boat patrol for the past 4 years, and that was when I was introduced to your Scout 202 Sportfish. Green Lake is one of Wisconsin’s most pristine lakes, with a surface area of 7,346 acres, also the deepest lake, 237 feet and has almost…

Dear Scout, Just thought I would thank you for building such great boats. I’m the head instructor of a sailing school, and I have nothing but praise for Scout boats. We have 145 and 155 sportfish Scouts, and they are exceptional. The 145 handles like a dream, and looks great. The 155 is unbelievably good…

Dear Scout, I am a USCG licensed charter fisherman, and I’m a returning Scout customer since 1997. I purchased my first Scout in ’97, a 185SF and in 2002 my current 235SF, both from Mid-Carolina-Marine. I believe there is no other boat that compares to Scout. Recently I have just begun to venture to salt…

Dear Scout, I thought I would update you on the performance of the Sportfish 175 I purchased in September 2002. I’ve put over 250 hours in all kinds of weather on my 175 and I can say without qualification that it is the softest, dryest center console I’ve been on. Its “fishability” beats all others…

Dear Scout, Thank you all again for making an outstanding product. We have managed to catch 43 bass in 81 hrs on our new Scout 260 Sporfish Guy Harvey Limited Edition boat since April of this year alone! My son even caught a whopping 46 inch, 38 lb bass. This boat is a fishing machine!…

Dear Scout, The photo above shows that you don’t have to have a big boat to have big fun. The sailfish was caught off Cape Hatteras in less than ideal sea conditions on my 202 Sportfish (my second Scout boat). Charles Arnett

Dear Scout Boats, Owning my own business I know you don’t always get feedback (especially positive) from your customers. However, in your case with such a phenominal product maybe you do. I just wanted to thank you for building me such a great boat. I recently purchased the Bayscout 240 from Marine Dynamics in Englewood,…

I purchased my Scout 210 in August of 2003. It has been a wonderful 1st boat for my wife and I. The performance and overall fish-ability in all weather conditions is hands down #1 for this size of boat. The large bow cushion also alows you to enjoy a beautiful and relaxing day on the…

Day was just breaking on the Florida Keys. Quiet. A typical spring morning, with a bright warm sun at the horizon, and a light breeze. The tide was flowing in with a full moon surge. Conditions were almost perfect for tarpon fishing. My good friend Captain Steve Thomas and I launched my new “Stu Apte”…

After much time researching many boats, I decided to start my charter business with a Scout Boat back in 1997. It is Scout’s remarkable high standards for impeccable quality, durability and usability that convinced me this would be the boat which would give my customers the ultimate fishing experience. My journey began with a 192…

I just wanted to pass along a picture of my son and I enjoying our awesome Scout 175 Sportfish center console. One of the pictures is of my son’s very first fish, he is only 4 years old and hooked on boating and fishing already. It is a great way for me to enjoy quality…
