Scout expanded their manufacturing facility in Summerville, SC to start building this boat and a couple of 30 something footers as well. Wow, what a boat!

Very nice boats. Way pricy but very very nice boats!

Scout has always made some interesting fishing boats, but the idea of a
boat that size and weight with four 300+ gasoline outboards on it can
only make the oil companies smile. :)

I'd think though that if you can afford the boat then you can afford the fuel. At least for the moment.

That is why they make the 7 Marine ;-)
Two of them would make this a pretty fast boat.
Three would make it really fast.

Like Tim says, if money is an issue, you would not be buying this.



Well, i think the decision regarding the fuel burn should involved more
than "can I afford the gasoline."

I had a small Scout Center Console ... 19.5' if I remember correctly.
Very nice boat, well built, no wood anywhere, high end hardware.
Fit and finish was excellent.

I had it stored at a rack storage facility in Florida and some rodents
got in it and chewed a bunch of wiring up. Then the storage place went
belly-up and everything in it was frozen by their bank until the
bankruptcy proceedings were completed. We had sold the houses in
Florida and I wanted to tow it back to MA. Took some doing but I
sneaked into the place, hooked the trailer up to my truck and hauled
it out of there with the owner of the place jumping up and down and
hollering at me.

Greg I can see that. There was a recent story of a guy that had some big blue water battle wagon moored somewhere and forgot he even had it for about two years. His financial 'group' kept paying the fees...

I was aware of the fact that everything within his fenced in area had
been seized until the bankruptcy proceedings had been completed but that
could have taken 6 months to a year.

I was so ****ed off I didn't care. I got the boat and never heard
anything about it.

Most of the people who buy boats like this, do not have the time to
actually use them much so I don't see the issue.

I bet they burned far more fuel in their Gulf Stream, just getting to
the boat.

Absolutely right. If you want to start limiting conspicuous
consumption of fossil fuels, start with the private jets. Boats are
almost efficient by comparison.

I wonder how much energy we could save by shutting down the internet
in Maryland?

I did not state or imply there should be limitations on consumption of
fossil fuels. I said the decision should involve more than "can I afford
the gasoline." As for what private planes consume, well, that's probably
a good issue for a private plane newsgroup.

Your snarky remark ignored, Wayne.

As always, have nice day.

Yep. Tom had his at the same marina where we keep our boat. I kept an eye on it for him.

A friend just bought a new Scout 225 XSF. As you said, very nice boats. He sent me the link because we were talking the other day about how these large center consoles are really getting popular. They are beginning to take the place of the big twin diesel Sport-Fisher. A run out to the gulf stream can be 30-50 miles here in SC, so folks want something that will get them there and back in a hurry.

I went through the Judge Yachts factory when a friend was having his
boat built there. Wasn't much of a 'factory', one big building, but
they had two or three boats going at one time. Very interesting to
watch the process.

The questions is with the quad motors how many minutes does the 500

Twelve minutes?

The quads will burn about 140 gals/hr at full throttle, 70 at 1/2
power cruising speed. Personally I'd want diesels in a boat that size
but the outboards do have some utility other that the "wow" factor.

I was talking to someone recently who is in the marine insurance
business. He said that it is becoming increasingly more difficult and
expensive to insure triple and quad outboard boats because they are
stolen so often.
