Scout Boats Award

[Whaler]

Our company, Hall Marine Charleston, was named the #1 Scout Dealer in the world. Scout has been a great brand for us and is built in Summerville.

BAD ASS, ive seen some very nice scout boats on the water recently.

[chrisheltra]

In for the boats and hoes.

[snakeplissken]

Outstanding!

[REDRAGTOPRS]

Scout boats are nice boats, but are waaaaaaaaay overpriced. I love my 2006 Sea Hunt 186 Triton. A comparable Scout cost 1 1/2-2 times as much, and my boat is built in Columbia.........For something that's going to see fish blood, dirt, fish tackle, saltwater, and the UV rays of the sun, I honestly don't know why someone would buy a scout. If I was gonna pay that kinda money, It would be for a pioneer.........Congrats on ya'lls award aswell. Does that mean some sweet bonuses?

[BigdaddyDupree]

Way to be a doucher lol.

[04ctd]

good deal

are they on 78, going out north out of S'ville?

what brand is built over on 52, tween MC & GC?
that place used to be full, pretty low lately.

[Whaler]

Thanks Redragtop. Great reply. There are many differences in the two boats, and many people choose to buy a nicer, more fuel efficient, better built and designed boat that will be worth more at any given moment. To each his own. All cars have 4 wheels. Some are better than others. Same rule applies here.

Thank you to everyone else. I have been asked to handle our Facebook page. This is new with me, as I don't post a lot on there, so please "Like" Sea Ray of Charleston on FB and if you can, help me with any feedback that you think would help make it better.

I appreciate the support.

[BigdaddyDupree]

Larry dont mind the haters. hes obviously a douche. scout boats are nice.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Congrats Larry!

[Whaler]

[BigdaddyDupree]

[Matts94Z28]

Good job.

There's one of those coming out of production any day. It was supposed to be done earlier this week for the Scout In Water Expo on Saturday, but didn't quite finish in time. You have good taste. :bigthumb:

Good taste, broke as a joke. I'll look at it at the boat show. That's as close to getting one as I will come. :mrgreen:

[Harry]

God forbid people having opinions. I not a boat owner but they seem to have nice boats.

[REDRAGTOPRS]

Apparently, some people on here had trouble with reading comprehension in school. If you go back and re-read my post, I never said anything negative about scout boats. They are nice boats, just not worth the money IMO. 80-90% of their boats are aimed at fishermen, and as a fishing boat, there are plenty of far cheaper options, that will do as good of a job at getting to the fishing hole......Now ya'll pull your panties out of your manginas' and carry on......:cheers

opinions are great to have, but dont post it on another mans thread about his place of business, its called respect, get some.

Exactly. Larry is one of the nicest guys on here and will bend over backwards to help anyone.

Dropping a deuce in his thread was asinine.

Ryan. Telling someone that you think what they have is not worth what they go for is something negative.

Respect GTO's and LT1's damnit! Oh, congrats on the boat stuff. Lol.

[REDRAGTOPRS]

I have met whaler, and he is a super nice guy. Not trying to trash anybody's business, just state an opinion about a brand of boat, not a perticular boat dealer, person, or anything else for that matter. We will have to agree to disagree on this....I stand where I stand on scout boats.....Apparently lots of people feel they are worth every penny, because I see lots of them on the water....

[Whaler]

What kinda deal can you get me on this boat?


~ $2ml or save a ton and buy this one

You have no idea, because Scout's target market is far from 80-90% fisherman. I sell far more for family use than for just fishing. They build a great mixed use product. As far as cheaper options, you should've bought a Carolina Skiff and saved yourself some money. If you think Scout is too expensive, then Boston Whaler and Grady White must be stupid to even think they can sell boats at their prices and stay in business.

Not trying to trash ..., just state an opinion about a brand . ...

IIRC, rumor has it he used to teach Sunday School??

yeah....but it was bad timing. let it go. no biggie.


everybody deserves the right to brag on what they do/where they work/who they are, at some point in time.

if they are getting awards in this economy, then ROCK ON!!

Absolutely beautiful! How much do those run?

Oh, about 25 2006 Sea Hunt Tritons.

[chrisheltra]

The engines alone are probably worth $60-75K.

So if we apply your logic to pony cars you should have bought a fox body mustang instead of a 4th gen F-body.

[Whaler]

Good taste Snake. I rode on one of those in 4' waves, sitting in the bow. That boat has an air conditioned cabin in the middle of the boat.

Thanks for the compliment. Didn't mean it as bragging, but was surprised that we beat out the South Florida dealers.

I grew up around Boston Whalers. My parents have owned several of them, and still own a 1991 15' sport model, which is one of the best boats ever made. My ex-father in law had a grady white, which he loved. Boston Whaler's were pioneers in the 70's and 80's when they would cut their boats into pieces with chainsaws, fill them full of people and water, etc, and they would still float. I would pay for that, as I have never seen another boat manufacturer (including grady white) make an unsinkable claim that they could back up. Grady White's have an extremely deep V, so they burn more gas, can't get in shallow water, take longer to plane, etc, but you won't find a better/drier ride. I have been 60 miles out in the gulf stream on a 19' tournament Grady White on a calm day chasing spadefish. I have also been out on several scouts that buddies own and love. We have these arguements all the time. As far as your Carolina Skiff comment, they make good crabbing boats, but that is about it. Flat bottom=crappy ride, enough said about that one. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I was a bit generous on the trade in value of the Tritons.

[REDRAGTOPRS]

Over half a million, you could buy a 50+ foot sportfish!

[chrisheltra]

That boat is much more expensive than I thought it would be.

[REDRAGTOPRS]

That boat is much more expensive than I thought it would be.

You are not familiar with boston whaler's, are ya? Probably the most expensive mass produced boat for the size, minus maybee edgewater, and they are the same quality as the whalers......

[chrisheltra]

Nope my only experiance is with bayliner, stingray, monterey and sea ray.

[Shane361]

I know Navy boats....they cost ALOT more!! lol That's about it though...

[brewerz28]

nice larry! I went to larry looking at a new 2012 210sxf. That boat was/is perfect for all around functionality. Plus the wifey loved the big lounge seat up front. I will definently buy one one day. Seriously..why buy a fbody when one can afford a corvette? lol Thats the way I look at it.

I'm glad I didnt purchase when I could have larry. Would have been in quite a pickle now seeing that I've been out of work for 2 months lol. Next spring might be the time though and if so I'll definently be giving you a call again bud.

Wrong. They are a better boat than you state, but are not that dry, unless you are comparing them to your Sea Hunt.

Wrong again. Only Edgewater Boats would tell you that.

Thanks Billy. I'm sorry to hear about your work situation, but sometimes things happen for a reason and you'll come back stronger. I'm still climbing my way back. Good luck!

The Corvettes' way over priced Billy. Both have 4 wheels and get you from point A to point B. You should know that. :poke:

and yet in the end of the day I still dont give a shit. The truck isnt my top priority hell it isnt even on the list. I have too much other shit going on too mess with it. Trust me if you had a boat you wouldnt even look at that car again, its relaxing and alot more fun.

I had a boat once. It sucked.

Dont get all bent out of shape big guy I was :joke:. As far as having a boat been there done that. Bought a 17cc Seafox new in 2002. I grew up on the water so I thought it would be great. Honestly, I found it neither fun nor relaxing. Between having to take care of loading the boat in the morning and unloading the boat in the afternoon (when you have a wife and a 1 year old you take everything but the kitchen sink) then scrubbing and washing the salt water off the boat and aluminum drive on trailer I found it to be more work than anything. Combine that with seemingly having to tow someone back to the hill every other time I went out or being harassed by the DNR every other time, topped off by the fact that every tom dick and harry with a credit score over 600 has a boat these days (who have no business behind the wheel of a boat) I really didnt find it all that much fun at all honestly. But to each his own I guess.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Oh and dont get me started on the rules of the road (river) and boat landing etiquette. SMH.

Yea i havent had any of those bad experiences. I also havent been in the saltwater yet so i havent got to scrub that off. Idk i guess i enjoy it because its something new and enjoyable at the moment. I just keep catching myself looking at performance stuff for it but i know i dont need to do that. I need to leave it be.

[BigdaddyDupree]

Oh and dont get me started on the rules of the road (river) and boat landing etiquette. SMH.

first time i had mine in the river my buddy boug dropped me off at the dock to go get the truck and a guy almost backed into my boat with his trailer while doug was trying to get out the way. People dont care about other people only themselves
