My wife and I have decided to downsize somewhat and have taken a liking to a small Scout center console. Anyone here have any experience with the brand?

I have a 2005 175 sportfish. I love it! Great quality and nice lines...
 
We are looking at the 210 center console with Yamaha 150. We tested it the other evening and were pretty impressed with it, although we were in pretty flat conditions. We are in western area of Lake Erie and have some reservations about smaller boats on this lake, (plus the culture shock involved in going from a 30' boat to a 21' boat.) ow long have you owned your boat? Have the fittings, workmanship and hardware held up generally well?

Thanks for your help,

Bill

Friends of ours have a Scout CC, not sure of the length, probably a 23', about 2 years old. They run it on western Lake Erie and they like the performance. They just put it up for sale if you're interested.
 
It's a very dry ride, and handles great. We have a 90 HP 4 stroke Yamaha outboard. Kids use it for wakeboarding, skiing and tubing. We bought it used, have owned it 3 seasons and have had no problems with it.
 
PatSea, Yes we would be interested in learning about your friend's boat. Can you put us in contact with them? We have a place in West Harbor and will be there this weekend.

Hogan, thanks for your input.

A friend of mine has the 23 CC, I've fished on it many times. It's held up very well, has a nice setup with lots of storage compartments and rides pretty good.
 
They are also pretty well known for certain years/models having underwater scuppers. Be sure to stand in the back before you buy!
 
Thanks to all for their input. Ultimately we didn't buy the boat. We just couldn't come together on price and 'though we liked the boat it didn't speak to us loudly enough to purchase it. In addition, I'm not sure we're ready to give up on the the ride and amenities that 30' offers.

Check out the 350 Abaco; has all the bells and whistles. Or my favorite, the 345 X SF.
