Hull & Ride Characteristics
Owners generally describe the Scout as:
very stable at rest
excellent fishing layout
lightweight and efficient
easy to trailer
good in rivers and moderate chop
The wider 22' model is notably more capable offshore/in rougher water than the smaller 18–20' versions because of its beam and weight. Smaller Scouts ride lighter and can get wet

The older North River Scouts are still respected in the Pacific Northwest because:
welded aluminum hulls age well
simple layouts are easy to maintain
