Brief Summary
Scout Boats' 201 Bay Scout is a near-shore and thin-water fishing boat with all the gear serious anglers need and very little that they don't. At 19' 10" (6.0 m) LOA and 1,600 lbs. (726 kg) with engine she's easy to trailer, launch and recover. Her motor-up draft of 10" (25 cm) makes her fine for poling across the flats chasing bonefish, while her 18-degree deadrise bottom is a good compromise between comfort running fast in a chop and stability at rest. She has casting decks fore and aft, a live well in the console and plenty of rod racks. In short, she's all the fishing boat most folks need.
