I use the same 14oz retractor to keep my Folstaf at the hip in the same position.

Even more curious, Outcast apparently marketed a version of the Scout with a welded rear IGS pad in Korea for a while.

Thanks for the info. I wondered if the glue on mount would work - I never thought of following up with Outcast. Pictures of the completed mount would be appreciated. Check out this previous thread from 2024 on installing a trolling motor on a Stealth Pro. Lots of good ideas on motor control...

I'd be interested in know what Outcast recommended for a motor mount. I made a PVC one that cam straps on without any mods to the boat. It works fine with a Minn Kota C30 but is probably on the heavy side after the addition of the launching wheels. I agree with recommendations above to try a...

I think you're right that stern first is probably more aerodynamic, considering the seat bottom up to the stern is pretty much flush with the bottom of the two pontoons. I did try it that way when I first got the boat and had a friend follow me with both setups. With the stern first setup...

My Fish Cat Scout is secure enough on Thule roof racks on my Honda CR-V at highway speeds but I really take a hit on gas mileage. I'll put to boat on the racks for shorter 30 - 40 minute trips between lakes but have the boat deflated and inside for anything longer.

I also upgraded from a Fishin Buddy 120 to the Garmin Striker 4 on my Fish Cat Scout. Same comments as above re: appreciating the updated technology - and occasionally missing the side scan feature! I used a Strap-on Mount from fishfindermounts.com for the screen and transducer. They make...

A lighter alternative for the longer rod holder to use thin walled (2mm - 1/16" wall) PVC central vac piping. The 60inch rod holders I made (shown below) for the back seat of my Honda Ridgeline were by Broan-NuTone, but the big box stores in Calgary carry IPEX now. The thinner wall is easier...

I found this thread useful when I was looking for a heat "supplement last fall. Based on that info, I ended up getting a pair of these Ocoopa warmers. My plan is to use them in my thigh pockets for early/late stillwater fishing as well as wading. They put out a lot heat, even on the low...

As @clarkman mentioned, the 10" depth along with the flat bottom on the Frabill Trout gives a lot more control over larger fish.

Bob, I wouldn't hesitate to email Outcast customer service with your questions. I've bought 3 used Fish Cat pontoons over the last 10 years and Outcast has answered questions I had on each of the boats. I've always received replies in less than 1 working day - they really have their customer...

Depending on the spacing of those attachment points, a motor mount like this could work. The last picture in the Amazon ad shows dimensions.

I picked up an unused Simms 2018 Vertical Mesh vest (discontinued in 2021 I think) this Spring and it is working out well so far. At 68, I've switched to pant waders and limit my wading to mid-thigh as well. When I moved to the pant waders, I started to carry more of the heavier bulky items on...

I really like my older (15yr plus) Columbia PGF Wading Jacket/shell which the traditional waist length. It weighs 1 lb-2 oz and conveniently fits into a much older REI-style 1 liter water bottle holder. I usually wear pant waders with a water bottle, net and wading staff on my waist belt to...

I'll second the recommendation for Soundcore. I've been using their Q20+ over ear headphones for 3 years. Let's a cranky old guy get an afternoon nap even with infill construction going on a couple of doors down. I usually use Pixel Buds when listening to music.

I installed two Scotty glue-on pads on my Fish Cat Scout 7 years ago and haven't had any issues. The Scotty pads are stiff and won't bend when you roll the boat up but the mounting pads for your oars are the same. I don't think my rolled up boat is any bulkier after installing the two pads...

At 68, I have progressive prescription glasses and use fitover style polarized sunglasses - Cocoons - with a yellow tint for evening and low light fishing. I eventually need to remove the sunglasses to tie on flies but the expensive prescription glasses stay on. I'm going to try putting some...

I think you're right. Outcast puts the '25 day plus' label on most if not all their boats with Urethane main bladders. The vinyl bladders are for us 'amateurs' who can't get their act together enough to get out on the water that much!

I've got a Fish Cat Scout that has the same style inflatable seat bottom as the Prowler. I'm a big fan of that style of inflatable seat/bottom. In my mind, one of the advantages of the Prowler over SFC is that the Prowler uses the same Summit II style valves for inflating the main tube, the...

Zak, I've had 3 pairs of Korkers, with the current pair being Darkhorse. My Korkers have always been size 11, one size larger than my shoe size. That's provided me room for heavier socks in the Spring/Fall and given me room for an orthotic when my plantars fasciitis acts up. The Omnitrax...
