The transom isn't open, but I'm hoping it will be pretty safe
anyway.
Nice boat. I like the proud sweep in the bow. I see a lot of boats in
that size and configuration/function that would look so much nicer
with a little sweep like that in the bow. The last 20 footer I lofted
out had a nice sweep like that..... Oh, and a motor well with the 18
inch bracket, 2 1/2 feet forward of the transom ;)
I just really liked the looks of the Scout. And, I loved the way it
road.
We were only on the Potomac River, which was flat, but the boat handled
nicely.

If the wife is thinking of grandkids visiting on the boat. 18' is too
small. I have a 21' and figure it is good for only 6 people
comfortably.

Also..........no privacy area for a porta potty. I doubt his wife will
be joining him on the boat.

I do not carry a porta potty on the boat. Bucket works well.

I guess I have more consideration for my wife than to tell her to sit on a
bucket in the open to do her business.

What do you do when you go camping, in the woods without the RV or the
cabin and without an outhouse? When in the woods everyone poops like the
bears. When on the water everyone poops like whales.

And if you need #2. head to shore.

Not always possible or practical. I do not expect to tell folks on my
boat.........tough luck, just crap in your pants.

Hang your ass over the side and ask everyone to look the other way.

I thought you left coasters were the sensitve and caring type. I guess
not.

Sensitive? Practical?

Have to admit John, that he actually stated something funny.


True, but his constant attack mode is a shame. He'd probably be a pretty
nice guy, if he's like most Canadians I've met.

There was a Canadian Army Brigade in Germany that I worked with every now
and then. Those guys were a blast. Of course, they weren't trying to keep
HK impressed.

I have always had the feeling Don was a nice guy, he is just lonely and
looks to Harry for attention and positive feedback.

I have found over the years that the wife and family lose interest in
the boat
rather quickly. Couple of boats back I quit considering what they
wanted and bought the features that filled my needs. I like to boat
and to fish. Wife commented a couple of years ago that she was happy
that the kids were older and didn't need her to look after them on the
boat. Good boating to you and have a great day.

No surprise I guess when you consider who is upholding 'the law'! ( or

Is that why you are here? Most people take a crap before leaving the
dock.
And if you are inland boating, there are trees and bushes along the
shoreline.


I doubt if either Jim or Don or any of their family/acquaintances are so
uncouth as to use a bucket, the water or a bush for such things. Some

Perhaps, but more out of respect to my wife. I would not ask her to walk
through the water to take a crap in the woods, nor would I ask her to take a
**** in a bucket on the open deck of my boat.

Different strokes I guess.



When wwe purchased our cuddy cabin (now sold as needs changed) the porta
potty was a must. We had a newborn and a two year old girl. Plus the
wife liked it.

It all depends on what the needs of the purchaser are.

That is true. When I suggested to the wife that we maybe get a bigger boat,
cruiser type, she said we are not that old yet. Was looking at Maxweld cats
as well as an ACB.
