TOTALLY UNIQUE: Scout 365 is the only small inflatable boat designed for exploration but can transform into both a legitimate Fly Casting machine and extraordinary Bird Blind/Camping boat. We didn’t just make a boat, we have made a total solution to fit multiple uses in all waters...Oceans~River~Lakes
Scout 365 is the Ultimate Kayak Alternative accommodating 2 adults with all their gear and most importantly, it all rolls up into a bag for easy storage. Perfect for all you urbanites who want to get out on the water but don’t have the space for a boat.
The Scout 365 design is a hybrid crossover of dory fishing boats, kayaks and an inflatable dinghy all rolled up into one. Our unique design provides you with the best lightweight, durable and compact boat available on the market. The high bow with the flat bottom offers ridiculous stability and allows you to navigate shallow waters. You can stand up and fly fish, cast with ease and feel totally stable. Combined with a small outboard motor (petrol or electric) the Scout 365 moves through the water at a decent pace.
PVC Material and Construction
All SCOUT 365 boats are made of the latest generation of PVC 1,100 denier (0.9 mm) PVC fabric with polyester support which offers excellent abrasion and tear resistance. Each seam is hand glued with four layers of bonded fabric for maximum strength and durability. Two sheets are overlapped and glued before two re-enforcement layers are attached either side. Glued seams offer better durability to welded seams when the PVC product is designed to be inflated and deflated on a regular basis. Our choice of fabric and seam design means SCOUT 365 boats are built tough and designed to last.
DROP STITCH AIR FLOOR
The Air Floor is an integral part of the boat design. It offers rigidity to the boat design and affords you great stability. Our lightweight, removable high pressure air floor system is constructed using the latest drop stitch technology. You will find the same technology being used in many inflatable paddle boards. This system is comprised of thousands of interwoven stitches holding both sections of fabric in parallel. Once inflated, this system provides extreme rigidity to the boat and ensures set up and pack down is easy and quick. The air floor’s construction also absorbs vibrations and is comfortable underfoot and once inflated is extremely rigid. When deflated the air mat is rolled up for ultimate portability. This same technology is used in both our iSUPS’s and AIR PADS.
Pontoon Tube Protection
All SCOUT 365 boats include a 20 cm wide pontoon base strake to protect the length of the boat. This protects the boat should it be dragged across abrasive surfaces such as rocks or broken shells.
Internal Bung System
All SCOUT 365 boats have an internal bung system which can be opened and closed easily.
Transoms
SCOUT 365 transoms are made with marine plywood and coated with tough 0.9 mm, 1100 Denier PVC fabric then fitted with outboard / electric motor protection plates. The transoms can also be used to attach side mounted fishing rod holders (link to accessories). We recommend using stainless screws and sealant when screwing or attaching anything to the transom.
Valves
SCOUT 365 boats utilise Halkey-Roberts valves designed for easy inflation and deflation. All valves have a double seal for leak protection and are widely used by inflatable boat manufacturers globally.
Maintenance
Our boats require very little maintenance. However we recommend the following to maximise the lifetime of your boat:
Always rinse your boat after use in salt water.
Storing your boat for several days ensure it is covered and out of direct sunlight
Store dry in a dry, well ventilated space.
We strongly suggest storing in an area that is free from rodents.
SCOUT boats can be stored inflated or deflated. If inflated we recommend using a boat cover. If deflated we recommend using the carry bag provided.
Our PVC material is extremely durable however avoid sharp objects or highly abrasive materials.
We do not recommend using solvent or chemical based cleaning agents on your SCOUT 365. Your local marine store will be able to recommend PVC inflatable boat cleaner.
