Experience Bliss On Your Water Excursions With The Scout Inflatable 245

Looking for a boat for ship to shore tender? Coming in at only 17kg (37lb.), the Scout 245 is light and easy to manage from your yacht or launch. It contains extra large pontoons for added buoyancy and fits three people.
With its narrow beam the Scout 245 doesn't impair your visibility looking aft from your helm station and boast a length of 8' fitting most duckboards for medium sized boats. Provided is extra thick rubber straking under the rear portion of the pontoons so you can lift and drag the boat up onto rough surfaces like a shelly beach.
Custom boat covers are available for the SCOUT 245 allowing you to protect your tender from UV and rain for longer term storage on your foredeck or duckboard. 
Add a small gas or electric outboard motor and you have the perfect package.
Attention RV'rs and Campers, this small inflatable packs away tight and is lightweight giving you the opportunity to get out on the water.  Add the Bixpy Outboard Kit and you have a clean non-gas outboard which is small and easy to stow in your camper or RV.

Note: All 245 now have rounded pontoons at the rear.

Boat and Motor Package:  Includes the Scout 245 and a Bixpy K-1 Outboard Kit with a transom adaptor.
Purchase the Boat Only or as a Boat and Motor Special Package.


About the Bixpy K-1 outboard kit:
  • Super lightweight with motor and battery weighing only 10 lbs.
  • Power output of 450watts – 33 lb. thrust
  • Performance of 6-10 miles on a full battery charge which is plenty to get you around the marina and for ship to shore purposes.
  • Recharge in 6 to 10 hours depending on your solar panel used.
If you have a solar panel, you never have to worry about flat batteries, bad gas, gunked up carburettors, defective spark plugs etc. If your battery is charged, you will always get to where you want to go immediately. Allow 6-8 hours for a full charge.

 


PVC Material and Construction

All Scout Inflatable boats are made of the latest generation of PVC 1,100 denier (0.9mm) 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 Inflatable 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 

As of June 2020, all Scout Inflatable boats now include a 8” (20cm) 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 Inflatable boats have an internal bung system which can be opened and closed easily.


Transoms

Scout Inflatable boat transoms are made with marine plywood and coated with tough 0.9mm, 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 Inflatable boats utilize 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.

How do you take care of Scout Inflatable 245?

Our boats require very little maintenance. However we recommend the following to maximize 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 Inflatable boats. Your local marine store will be able to recommend PVC inflatable boat cleaner.
