Used Scout 175

I’m looking at a 2004 Scout 175 CC. Anybody on here know much about them?
Pros/Cons?

cheers,

Scout builds a great boat. I have always lusted after the 242 Abaco. People that have the 175's seem to love them. Good reviews on THT.

Thanks, che k it out and see. Has a Yamaha T60 which I think is under powered, but overall looks clean, brand new trailer, and price seems right

Yeah, way underpowered. Should have a 115. You would want to budget for a motor swap.

Pendlington was using the same boat/motor on one of his salt water fly fishing episodes.
He had only good things to say, it looked like the 60 pushed it just fine.

Could even be the same boat Scott, Its a used Legacy Lodge boat

Did you buy it? I was next in line

I did! It’s great, is definitely underpowered and will be putting a 90 on soon!

Sweet. I was the one calling while you were viewing it.. I want one really bad now, pretty much the perfect boat for what I need! Already emailed legacy to see if they're getting rid of more soon.

Sweet boats.. In my opinion a nicer looking and better layout than similar sized whalers.

Dipped it in the lake at Cowichan this weekend, it’s great, can’t wait to get it dialed for fishing. Being that it’s from Legacy lodge I’d bet it’s had some hogs on deck!

Ya they have a good gallery on their website with the boats in action.

Too funny. I was out for a sunset boat ride with my wife and as we were heading through the narrows from Honeymoon Bay towards Gordon Bay I slowed down to let this CC boat pass in front of us. As it came closer I saw the familiar Legacy Lodge decal on the side and said to my wife, hey that guy is on my forum and just bought that boat! Figured there couldn't be more than one cruising around the Island! Looked great from our vantage point!

My son had one for a while,it was well built,but it took a while for me to get used to the low freeboard.

I’m going to get a stern rail built on each side with downriggers pads similar to a SS.
