Scout 377 LXF

Lux Class Carbon Fiber/Epoxy CC

A carbon fiber/epoxy hull is both light and remarkably strong and is very unusual in the center console category.

Innovation of the Week

Fail-Safe Drum Anchor Winch On

New Robalo 360 Models

There’s nothing innovative about a drum winch, they’ve been around forever. What is innovative is that the folks at Robalo have actually put one on their R360.  With this system, the anchor can be raised and lowered remotely without having to go to the helm.  We’d like to see more builders pick up on this good idea. Note the tie-off cleat and the washdown bib. Full marks to Robalo. More ->
