Does anyone own a Scout boat?

[Sandman]

Had a look at these during the show, i like the look and i got the usual good sell on the ride and comfort of the boat.
Would be interested to know of anyones experience with the centre console regardless of size but preferably the 6 mtr version.

Dave Bradley, a guide who mainly specialises in fly from the Hinchinbrook area has a 17 foot Costa flats boat. I spent a day with him early in the year. For inshore fishing it was absolutely superb.

The one at the boat show was a Sportfish 160 (I think) which is more suited to bay fishing. I have had a good look over these previously when I spent time in the US.

I recently looked at importing a boat from the USA and after a lot of research and looking at many boats, I am of the opinion that Scout are the pick of all of the imported boats by a country mile. Superb finish, well thought out, great ride etc.

Kind regards... David

A mate down south has one and is rapped with it. He's got a smaller model than you are looking at (5m I think) and it is a very tidy rig indeed

These are at the top of my list of potential boats for next upgrade.
