Scout Boats has been manufacturing sport fishing boats since 1989. A leader in innovation, Scout has earned a reputation for quality engineering and construction. Scout helped pioneer the eradication of all wood in boat construction by using composite stringers and transoms, a Scout trademark. The Scout name represents revolutionary and cutting-edge designs. Scout values financial stability, providing customers with durable boats that retain value and provide an exceptional boating experience.
Steve Potts, CEO and President of Scout Boats, founded the company in 1989; however, the history with Scout Boats dates back to when Steve was in high school and worked at the Outboard Shop in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1988, Potts left his successful career at American Sail to start his own boat manufacturing company. The Outboard Shop was sold to another company that stopped making Scout Boats, and they agreed to let Steve use the Scout name.
Scout Boats, ranging from 14 to 42 feet, are 100% hand-laid and outfitted with a slew of innovations developed by Potts, such as gas-saving NuV3 hulls and a reverse-shoebox hull/deck design.
