Dear Scout,

Thank you for such a great product. This is our third scout. We started with a 17, then moved up to the 18, now we have the 242 Abaco. The best all around boat on the market today. With spectacular fuel economy and numerous creature comforts this boat is a pleasure to fish on. Your design team does very well laying your boats out to be functional and provide all the fishing needs and accessories necessary to keep the crew happy. This boat is a great cruiser for those long day trips and over nighters with family and friends. It can be loaded up with rods, ice, and bait and fish with even the biggest boys offshore. We journeyed out of Edisto Beach SC last year heading for the gulf stream. After a day of productive fishing, we punched in the GPS ride home and realized that we were just over 75 miles from the hill. With plenty of remaining fuel the crew laid down and slept while I drove us in. The boat has opened the door to offshore trolling for my family and we are addicted. The hard top and cabin give us a place to keep out of the sun and take an afternoon nap on those extended hot summer fishing trips. Keep up the good work!

Thanks,

Scott Cothran
