Ocean Scout Bristol models represent impressive design lines that reflect their New England heritage. Safe, sturdy and stable, Ocean Scouts have been the choice for years of commercial fisherman, sport fishermen and government agencies. Built in Bristol, Rhode Island, Ocean Scouts embody qualities dictated by common sense and the time tested value of simple practicality. These cuddy cabins provide substantial storage areas while the extended cabin roof protects you from the elements, permitting an extended boating season. Flush, non-skid, self-bailing deck enhances safe and easy movement within the boat.
 
 
Standard Construction Features:
 
  • Modified V-Hull design. Ocean Scout fishing boats are built with comfort and stability in mind. The deep forefoot, hard chines and relatively flat aft section provides a stable and efficient hull that tracks well while proving a soft, dry ride.
  • Hand-laid Solid Fiberglass. No coring is used in the hull sides or bottom.
  • Seamless, flanged hull to deck construction. These two major components are bonded then fiberglassed together to promote a more rigid structure, eliminating leaks and the dependency on mechanical fasteners.
  • Quality Gelcoat. We use only the best gelcoat to form the outer skin of each Ocean Scout model.
  • Self –Bailing Cockpits. Approx 100 SF of self bailing cockpit space finished with a practical non-skid surface.
  • Foamed Hull. An extensive amount of foam is installed under the deck which provides flotation as well as sound deadening. A passive ventilation system reduces moisture build up.
