Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with a Scout Boat with water intrusion?
Will elaborate more if anyone chimes in on this. Could be a great topic of discussion if we have many with common issues.
Thanks all in advance.

I get water in the bilge from the rod holders and any water in the stern of the boat that seeps through the bilge access panel. The cupholders also drain to the bilge.
How much water are you talking about?
had a 16 ft with side drains . water leaked through these drains into the hull.
Salt water that gets inside on top of the foam flotation that is put in on some. jack up boat as high as possible and take access plates off on each side of motor. You can see it but does not drain to bilge.
Check your out if you have not to see. Need a flashlight to look at mine in my 20’ bay scout.

Mine(Abaco 280)used to get water in the engine bracket…they had put an inspection plate on the underside of the bracket…some Einstein at the factory decided that was a good idea.
Also there were issues on some models with the scuppers being under water when the boat was loaded down. Mine had that problem as well.
“Never argue with an idiot…he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.”
The 175 CC had scuppers that were to low when they added four stokes. Redesigned the transom area on the 175 three or four years ago. Other models such as the 16 would keep your feet wet unless you kept plugs in the corner floor drains.

We had to keep our 2000 172 scuppers sealed with plugs as they were too low for the extra weight of the four strokes. I understand they have since remedied this problem. Other than that, high and dry always!
