The wife has decided. The Triumph is out of the question now. She and I
both liked the Scout better. We'll be moving to NC in about a year and a
half, and this looks to be easily towable to various lakes and the ocean.
Any comments?

The transom isn't open, but I'm hoping it will be pretty safe anyway.

Nice boat.

Although you could have had my Ranger for less money. :)

I like the Scout model line - nice lines and the interior layout is
very well thought out.

I would, though, take a look at Polar in this same model class.

The more I see them, the more I am impressed with the whole Polar
concept.

I like the Polar boats, but the smallest CC is the 19'er, but it's bigger
than I want. I want something that I can easily pop onto a trailer hitch
and take off with. I *don't* want something requiring trailer brakes, which
I'm afraid that extra weight may require. The Polar doesn't have the fancy
seating of the Scout, and that was a must for the wife, who is thinking of
grandkids visiting!
