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.

Ocean Scout Bristol 23 Owner Testimonial:
Watch & Listen to Frank E of Groton Connecticut describe the features of his Bristol 23.
Starting with the basic platform we were able to build a boat for Frank that suits his style of fishing in Long Island Sound.
