Hewescraft deal didn't come through. Looking at a couple of other boats. The Scout is still for sale. We fish all year round from this boat. You just pick and choose your days when it's windy. We've fished 2-4's with no problem. Here's some pictures of a couple of fish we caught last year. I can't believe that no one from the finger lakes is interested in this boat. Again, no wood in this boat. Composite stringers and transom.
