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 THAN BOATS COSTING THOUSANDS MORE. FROM THE QUALITY OF THE SEATS TO THE HYDRAULIC HINGED REAR STORAGE AREA, IT IS FIRST RATE. ONE CONCERN OF MINE AND MY FAMILY WAS “HOW DOES IT RIDE AND HANDLE CHOP?” WELL I’M HERE TO TELL YOU IT WAS GREAT. I LIVE AND FISH IN AN AREA WHERE FOLKS DON’T THINK ANYTHING OF RUNNING THEIR 55FT YACHTS AT FULL TILT, JUST ABOUT SWAMPING EVERYONE NEARBY. THE SCOUT CUT RIGHT THROUGH IT WITHOUT A SHRUG. VERY SOLID, VERY STABLE, HANDLES LIKE A DREAM. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT BOAT!!
