Scout is always developing new and innovative construction methods. For instance, the engine mounting system on the 210 Sportfish and larger models, called the "Scout Strata-Mount" is a fully factory molded bracket with one very important feature: the two main longitudinal grid stringers pass through the transom and are integrated into the engine mount. This design allows the natural stresses of the engines to be spread out over the entire hull, increasing strength, durability and performance. Scout's state-of-the-art 134,000 square foot manufacturing facility is climate controlled and houses two 6,000 sq. ft. bridge cranes, a sophisticated 32' X 12' test tank for water testing, a high-tech vacuum system, a quality control laboratory and an employee fitness center. A fifth phase of expansion, scheduled to begin in 2005, will add another 50,000 sq. ft. to the facility, which currently produces 1,500 high-quality boats a year.
