I keep mine at work and trailer it to jungle prada usually... Was going to put in at Demens landing tomorrow morning and try to find Gibsonton FL for "Spencer's Boats, bikes. babes and bbq bash" Its on the Alafia river.

I heard about that place. I have a lot of buddies that live over in the Acres that go out there. I haven't made it out there yet

I understand that with the setback it runs faster but without it is more stable but not as fast. Plus it will fit in my garage much better

Default We ran the boat!!!!!!

After almost 4 years we finally wet the 87 Scout. Dam what a fine boat. Wind was 25-35 and we had a nice chop to play with.
I was nervous all the way til I opened her up to run. The boat performed flawlessly!
She is a solid boat from 87 that has not seen water in 12 years. I think she liked it! I know we had a blast!
Mr Saccentti you ROCK!
Jim and Tammy

Thanks so much for all the support and compliments! Especially the guys with the big Apache's.
We have had a blast with the boat and have had zero issues so far.
Best speed has been 59.7 GPS with full fuel tank and a lot of food and drinks,the dog, and all the neccesary gear for a family outing.
We are running a 25 inch shaft motor and I believe the prop is too deep for top speed.
Maybe this winter I'll buy a jack plate and raise the motor 3-4 inches and see what it does.
For now I'm just going to run it and enjoy the boat.
Thanks again for the encouragement, advice, and resources that the OSO Apache Tribe has bestowed on us.
Jim
