Looking forward to a future video with either a small gas or electric motor.

skittles6699 - 6 years ago

Hi Mooners, Great video. I myself am dabbling with the idea of a small trimaran foldable easy to pack up Sailboat

Jesse Snow - 6 years ago

I have had this boat for a couple of years (was only $999 then) and we love it. Please do not compare this to an inflatable kayak, it is built much tougher, has a wider beam so you can stand up in it, will accommodate a 3.5HP gas motor (I use a 55lb thrust electric w/50AH LiFePo4 battery) carry 500 lbs or 2 people with gear. It would have been easier to inflate by using the adapter that comes with the pump, still won't attach but makes it easier to hold, Scout now makes an electric pump with quick connects at both ends that inflates the boat fully with 'dial-a-pressure ' auto shut off, makes short work of inflating the boat. We have used our boat on many lakes, in swift water, and float fishing. We don't carry the boat since I added fold up launching wheels, less work getting to the water if it's a ways away. All in all a very good hybrid inflatable, reminds me of my Zodiac in build material and quality. Some tips...
Only remove the floor when drying out the boat, I roll the floor up with the boat.
Insert the seat planks with the boat partially inflated (when you switch from electric to foot pump is a good time.
Get a set of transom mount launch wheels (your spouse will thank you)
Pack the seat planks first with the boat on top to protect the boat.
Do not 'suck' all of the air out with the pump to roll, actually makes it harder. open valves let air out for 10 minutes, (deflate floor if leaving it in, fold sides to middle, roll from the stern after folding stern tubes into middle. Get two quick connect straps to secure the rolled boat, makes it easier to get in bag. Happy boating!

Rob Trust - 6 years ago

We bought a intex explorer that seems to out do this scout in every way. Set up time 10 mins. In the water and gone within 15 mins. 5 chambers plus are buoyancy aids!!! cheap as chips, sturdy and safe. Thanks Amazon U.K. For the money. Index wins hands down. In rough water on a lake in north Wales U.K. It coped well. Better than expected.

Aaron elliot - 6 years ago

Which park did you film this video in?
Love the scenery

Carl Deeds - 6 years ago

what campground and lake is this?

Billiegirl - 6 years ago

I would like to have seen the stability of the boat when you are both in it at the same time. Does it feel tippy with you both in it and someone stands up or moves around?

Mary @H2OsEdge - 6 years ago

Isn't the hose just for the foot pump? The electric pump should hook directly up to the boat for inflation.

Robbie CaptMilkbone Baxter - 6 years ago

NICE! any chance we can see the USCG tag on the transom? I like to know the ratings for persons and motor size ect. The link does not show it, or mention it.

where do i find the scout inflatable for sale.????????

Except we RV to support our seakayak habit. So in our eyes, kayaks on the truck improve the look of the trailer. :-)

John Chappie - 6 years ago

I have a nucanoe kayak. It's awesome but very large and wide like your scout. My paddle is extra long and I think that it would work better for your application as well. The paddle does cost like $140. But even if you could get another brand that was longer, I think you'd get around much better.

Michael Lowrey - 6 years ago

1st how do I get a free one
Next I know you have added a motor.
I have 2 kayaks ( only been doing it for 9 months)
A cheap alternative to paddling is 1 or 2 options
A wind paddle brand or cheaper eBay brand
Or what I use - a clear umbrella. Yes it works.
I hook the loop of the umbrella to my mounted fish pole holder and can open close as needed. I can then paddle or steer. Of course either only work with the wind and with you position. But it does alow for a break from paddling.

Sean Boyle - 6 years ago

Why haven't you mentioned its price every one wants to know.

Arlene Call - 6 years ago

Where can we find the life jackets???

Einzwie - 7 years ago

I use the electric air pump to deflate my air mattress when tent camping while on motorcycle adventure rides. Using the pump to deflate will remove all of the air making the inflatable as small a package as it was before it was inflated the first time.

jerry denning - 7 years ago

Wow I thought it was great thank you both ..i can't even understand why anyone would not like these videos 14 or 15 people ..its crazy lol there's nothing wrong with your videos...thx guys we love you both

AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage – only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on YouTube are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

PatJ61 - 7 years ago

Your videos are great. I wouldn't be surprised if some day Airstream gives you a new, top-of-the-line RV to review on your Youtube channel!

Long Long Honeymoon - 7 years ago

thanks Pat, we like the way you think! :D

Mic - 7 years ago

Looks like it would also make a great fishing platform, wider and more stable than a narrow kayak or canoe.

Long Long Honeymoon - 7 years ago

Yes, we actually have the optional fishing rod holders for the boat. It should be a great little fishing vessel.

A design 4 Living - 7 years ago

Do you get much use out of the boat?
How has your opinion changed over time?
Seriously considering adding to the garage of our Grand Design 328m 5r TH.

steve ballard - 7 years ago

Very cool Thanks for the info

Jeff A. - 7 years ago

Great review. Seems like a nice alternative. I like the upright seating position. Seems wide for kayak paddles?

Doug Krage - 7 years ago

1100.00 is not too much to pay for a quality inflatable. This summer, my wife and I purchased a pair of Hobie inflatable kayaks to bring along as we travel with out 5th wheel. They are equipped with pedal powered fins. They tuck away in our basement storage but do take up more space than your boat. We absolutely love having the option of heading out on the water!

Enjoy your boat!

Doug

Mike M - 7 years ago

Im buying this boat. What an awesome review. Talk about thorough. Fantastic guys!

Gabriel D - 8 years ago

I was curious where the boat is made/manufactured. Is it made in China? if not what country? I know some of the Zodiac are made in France. Thank you very much.

Ralph Fairbanks - 8 years ago

Possibly easier to put to aluminum seating in before the sides are completely inflated??

Farren Davis - 8 years ago

almost convinced the wife that we couldn't live without one!

Mark Duncan - 8 years ago

very cool

J.L. Salayao - 8 years ago

Awesome video and review guys! Thank you for sharing this one. Now I can fish almost anywhere with that boat... Probably would install electric motor to cover wider and longer distances. Cool stuff.

RedRoofRetriever - 8 years ago

Those fishing pole holders work great as a selfie stick holder too, for that "Over the shoulder camera view". I made my own for my Jackson Kayak-video on my channel. I love to kayak, and see the other side.

golfnut - 8 years ago

wow $1,100 i did not see that coming. we have a sea eagle 370 which is a 2 person inflatable kayak that we absolutely love which we got used for $225 (new they are $320), but thanks for the 411, love your videos

golfnut - 7 years ago

won't take a gas engine, just paddle power

Tom Bremer - 7 years ago

Hey Golfnut,What size gas engine does your inflatable Eagle 370 take?

Sean Duncan - 8 years ago

Well its not cheap but comparing it to an inflatable kayak is not apples to apples in my opinion. This boat is quite a bit more capable in its diversity then an inflatable kayak. Its weight capacity and capability to attach a motor are two big advantages to its wide range of potential uses. Those sea eagle kayaks are nice for sure but for this boats many potential uses Id say the price is reasonable if not pretty good. Especially when you can easily spend a grand on many 2 person kayaks out there for sale.

Maxi Marine - 8 years ago

Nice video and location! Any reason the air floor can't be left inside when rolled up?

Maxi Marine - 8 years ago

Thanks, that make sense to clean out the interior from any small sharp rocks, particle, etc. in a camping/lake environment before rolling up. We use inflatable boats mostly in a marine dock/sailboat environment which requires little to no cleanup.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

+Maxi Marine Scout recommends removing the floor, so that is what we have done. I suspect it would be more difficult to roll up the boat if the floor was inside. Also, removing the floor allows us to wipe down the interior before storage. Thanks for your post!

Anthony N - 8 years ago

Too bad it's not a canvas material How does the thick plastic compare to a canvas? Do they even make canvas anymore? So much stronger. For 1k this should be a canvas!

Tina Armijo - 8 years ago

Love the boat! We have a Sea Eagle, more for fishing and have an electric motor or use the oars to go down a river. Sad we were not able to meet you when there last month. There were 6 of us which makes plans difficult at times. When there we took our boat on Lewis and Shoshone Lakes in Yellowstone for some great fishing! Enjoy and keep the videos coming. Next time in the same area, will try and meet with you!

JJGriswold - 8 years ago

Funny, saw some posts about the price. Roughly $1,100.00 for a good reliable boat seems right to me. I wouldn't think a floatie that costs a lot less would be reliable for more than tooling around the shore near camp. Great review, thanks!

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

+JJGriswold Agreed. If you research price, this one is certainly competitive. It's not the cheapest on the market, nor is it the most expensive. Thanks for your post!

i Reynolds - 8 years ago

Thanks for sharing. The scenery was beautiful.

Owen4it - 8 years ago

My two loves, boats and campers! Great video! Nature watching from a boat is so cool, the animals seem to feel more at ease if you're quiet.

The More We Explore - 8 years ago

BEAUTIFUL! Wish we could have joined you in Jackson, but we understand how tough it is to meet up when we're both on the move. Keep up the great work you two. LOVING the drone shots.

LetsRV - 8 years ago

First off great job on the video. People need to send you more things to review.
Do you think the boat is better than having 2 inflatable kayaks? Where were you when you saw al the animals?

Thomas Aaron - 8 years ago

Just looked through some of these comments. As much effort as goes into making a FREE review to help OTHERS, you would think people would be a tad more kind and appreciative.

Good job, guys. Appreciate your effort. Keep up the good work. I get a lot of inspiration for you guys. Leaving on a West Coast RV tour shortly. :)

My favorite of all your videos was "The Swoop." It has never failed me. And you guys gave me the idea for walkie talkies, which is a real marriage saver. :)

Thomas Aaron - 8 years ago

That's pretty good. I wonder if it is suitable for calm saltwater situations? Nice video.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

I think it would be fine in calm saltwater. We plan to put ours into the Gulf of Mexico later this year. On a calm day, the Gulf is not unlike a lake.

Matt Archambault - 8 years ago

Very cool boat and review, thanks so much. My wife and I went to that exact spot at the lake when we stayed in the Grand Teton NP this last September. It was our first trip in our new Airstream. Next year we'll go back with one of these boats!

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

Yes, we had hiked String Lake before, so it was a lot of fun to see it from the water! I suspect we'll be back next year as well.

Richard Cross - 8 years ago

Sean & Kristy, thanks for a very enjoyable, and informative, review. You're right, an inflatable is a great way to gain a whole new perspective while RVing. And don't think we didn't notice the drone shot in there as well. All in all, it made for a great video.

Oh, and put me down as "Can't wait for the Transatlantic Crossing" video! ;)

Thanks again, enjoyed it!

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

Thanks Richard, and yes I was eager to get some drone footage into this video! :D I'm glad someone out there noticed, haha... We'll probably do another vid with the boat in the future, maybe putting a motor on it. LOL on the transatlantic crossing! --Sean

Tdizzle - 8 years ago

How would rate the storage would it fit a 72 hour kit in case one ventures to far from the camp and may need to hike back.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

I'll talk more about the storage bag in the next video. I think it is designed to unzip and separate from the boat if necessary, and it does have a shoulder strap. So in theory, yes you could stash some provisions in the bag and hike back. (It would probably make the most sense to stash a proper backpack inside and use that for your return hike.)

Eric Stevenson - 8 years ago

Nice, like to see how well it works with gas 3.5 outboard, also on some choppy water

Ray Boley - 8 years ago

one of your better video

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

Thanks Ray! We'll plan to shoot some more boat vids in the future.

MV RV - 8 years ago

Hi guys! We've been subscription members for a few months and really enjoy your videos. Where were you guys when you filmed the boat episode with the moose? Keep up the good work. Can't wait to get out there and do some full-time rving ourselves soon!

MV RV - 8 years ago

awesome! We lived in Estes Park Colorado for 20 years and really like Wyoming. Currently living in Florida and look to return out west in a few years when we retire. Have been considering an inflatable boat for a while and this looks like a good one! Thanks again! Mike and Rebecca

goldenfire5 - 8 years ago

Inflatable, portable boat. Such a great idea! Looks like you two had fun.

The Camping Trucker - 8 years ago

Can you mount a small outboard motor on it?

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

Yes! We plan to do so as soon as we get our hands on one. They say it works well with electric trolling motors.

Dana Sullivan - 8 years ago

I am sorry. I mean kayaking at? auto correct got me.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

Wyoming! String Lake (Grand Teton Natl Park) and Slide Lake (Bridger-Teton National Forest).

Dana Sullivan - 8 years ago

where were u laying at

Joe - 8 years ago

Thanks for doing a product review. Looks like way too much effort to assemble.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

Well, it's sort of a "pick your poison" situation. If you have boats that need to be mounted on the roof of your vehicle then you have the effort involved with that whole process. I bet it takes 10 minutes (and two people) to unstrap and remove a couple of boats from the roof of your truck, and getting them back onto the roof must involve at least as much effort. So the difference in setup & breakdown/storage time probably isn't that great.

Tennants BEtrippin - 8 years ago

Well now, where have I seen that idea of an inflatable boat before? well now, where? Great get Sean and Kristy. I like your boat better then the one we were lugging around. That Kayak/Row/Motorized inflatable is the perfect size boat for the RV'er. Since we sold our dingy inflatable we were thinking about inflatable kayaks but I wanted the ability to cover more water especially down in the keys or just around Florida. Your Scout will work great with a trolling motor and it will be quieter when trying to get closer to wild life as you shown but with the electric motor you can run up on that moose really, really fast. The only thing I see as a problem is when your wife wants to go over there but you want to stay here, so you know what that means? You will be going over there. Love you guys! Jonathon and Frankie

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

Thanks Jonathan & Frankie, we love you guys too! We plan to get a motor for the boat in the near future and shoot a vid about it. I'm thinking it would be fun to try on the Gulf of Mexico the next time we're in the Seaside area. You are right about the Keys too! This would be a lot of fun down there. Next year is our ten-year anniversary (married in Key West) so perhaps a return trip is in order. Happy trails to you guys! Sean

sam white - 8 years ago

A question not about the boat. Wouldn't your truck be more useable and offer more protection from weather and theft, with a cap?

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

+sam white if we can find a good one we'll probably get it. I'd be happy with the right tonneau cover because that way we wouldn't lose visibility out the back of the cab - helps with towing and wildlife photography. But I need a cover that allows us to use our generator and easily access the interior. Most covers and caps add a lot of work and hassle when you need to access items in the bed of the truck.

sam white - 8 years ago

I have seen truck caps with doors along both side that would give you that access.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

If we had a truck cap we would would gain more protection from weather and theft. However we would lose visibility and ease of access to the bed (where I am often retrieving filmmaking gear like tripods, starting our generator, etc.). If I could find a tonneau cover that would allow quick access and is compatible with the height of our generator then I would get it. Unfortunately the ones I've seen are flush with the top of the bed, and thus too low for our generator.

Brad Herder - 8 years ago

Nice! Think a dog (labrador retriever) would pop it?

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

I think it would be fine for a dog. The weight capacity is 500 pounds. The PVC is really tough, but you might wanna make sure the dog's nails aren't too sharp. :)

Robert Estes - 8 years ago

CITAP1 - 8 years ago

Jim JN - 8 years ago

Are you near Jackson in this review?

Jim JN - 8 years ago

That's great, will be looking forward to them. I'm sure others will find them informative and useful. We did a short hike by Jenny lake 3 years ago.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

I'm going to work on some videos about these areas. Lots of great hiking and boating opportunities there!

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

String is in the Park, Slide is north. The moose was on Slide, elk on String!

Jim JN - 8 years ago

Thanks, thought so, will be heading to the Teton and Yellowstone next spring. Will check those lakes out.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

Yes. String Lake and Slide Lake.

Bill S - 8 years ago

Moose yelling is not headphone friendly.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

haha sorry about that! Those elk were kind of excited... ;)

Bill S - 8 years ago

Yes. That sound was very, very loud when wearing headphones watching this video.

Jim JN - 8 years ago

Did you mean the Elk bugling?

Debi Coleman - 8 years ago

Could you insert the aluminum seats slightly before you complete full inflation..to make it easier?

Debi Coleman - 8 years ago

Reverse to remove seats.

Ray Barrick - 8 years ago

Quick Tip: Insert the seats before fulling inflating the side tubes and they will go in more easily and when you inflate the tubes the seats won't move.

John Hess - 8 years ago

Thank you for the review! Really curious to see a video with an electric motor. Let us know if you can find a better pump so you can avoid the foot pump for the last bit. Seems like it would be quicker if the pump would reverse to suck all the air out. Happy boating guys, can't wait to get our own after we get a new Airstream Basecamp!

Scott Powell - 8 years ago

I beg you please do not entertain using this boat on the open ocean. It would have disastrous consequences. This is at best a small lake boat, and allow me please to encourage you to use it for flyfishing. please have fun with your new boat and take care, you all hear . . .

pegg696 - 8 years ago

How about using the aluminum seats as the bottom of the bag and the boat on top? That way it will sit on the cart easier and keep the boat from being penetrated thru the soft bottom of the bag?

Jesse Snow - 6 years ago

That's how I pack mine, works better than stuffing them in the side.

Glen Laramie - 8 years ago

Hey Sean and Kristy, nice review of the inflatable. Love the footage of the elk and moose. Keep up the great work.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

thanks Glen! Yes it was quite a treat to see elk and moose in these settings! Cheers, Sean

Celina Nix - 8 years ago

can't believe it cost 1099.00 that is crazy

Robert Allen - 6 years ago

..it's average for that sized inflatable boat..

Sean Duncan - 8 years ago

Not really when you consider its capabilities and the fact that many quality 2 person kayaks out there cost a grand or more and don't have the diversity of this boat.

pupcamper58 - 8 years ago

Great video. I am a kayaker and have been for several years. I had to down size to a 10 footer so I can haul it in the back of my pick up while the camper is in tow. Also I am a female so lifting the kayak in is not the easiest of task! You have triggered my interest in an inflatable now! I would not want to be without a means to enjoy the view of wildlife, caves and even fishing in places a boat could not go. I have paddled lakes in Tennessee and Alabama. I would have been estatic to see a mouse like that. I have enjoyed them while camping in Yellowstone National Park. Thanks for the review, safe travels. I enjoy your channel.

craig johnson - 8 years ago

Nice boat. You didn't say where you are at. Yellowstone area?

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

Grand Tetons and the nearby national forest. :)

KJRitch - 8 years ago

We carry a two person SeaEagle FastTrack 385 12 1/2' inflatable kayak with our Airstream. The pros are it is light, about 34lbs, and folds up to a small footprint. While inflating it is a breeze when it comes to packing it you have to make sure its dry when you store it. Getting the boat completely dry takes some time as water gets into every nook and cranny. Often I have to unpack it to dry it better when I have more time. Water seems to get inside easily; every time you get in/out, the smallest waves break over the bow and then boat starts to paddle heavy. The pontoon design of the Scout 365 probably helps from getting wet which is a plus. The FastTrack would not be a good option in cold water lakes. I think the hassles of packing it up dry and taking in water overcomes the advantages of an inflatable kayak. I'm thinking of switching to the Wilderness Pamlico 145T. This kayak allows the front seat to slide back for solo use. has a covered bow and dry storage. Since I have a camper shell on my truck with a Yakima base rack I think it would be easier/faster to take a kayak off the roof vs deflating, cleaning off and drying out an inflatable. The price of the Pamlico is the same as my FastTrack and the Scout inflatable.

I think the Scout would be better with an electric or small outboard motor. I don't think you could paddle very far with the Scout unless you rowed it like a row boat facing the stern. Watching the video and paddling with the kayak paddles looked awkward. Any wind would make it much more difficult to travel any distance.

Thanks for sharing.

Peter Jenks - 8 years ago

hi guys I just love all your video's whatever you're doing, remember that one you made when to go and not to go Alaska , everyone who vlogs get strange bad stuff in comments so just stay as you are because your so nice.

sonia london - 8 years ago

Hi Sean & Kristy, nice boat in a bag you have there. I have an inflatable kayak and enjoy it. Inflatables aren't for everyone. What matters is that it's right for you. You both are now able to enjoy your time on the water and look at the world from a different perspective. Great attitude and sense of humor.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

thanks Sonia, yes inflatables probably aren't for everyone but we are loving this one! Thanks for your comment!

tim kirwin - 8 years ago

does the boat stay stable if you remove the one of or both of the seats?
rowing would probably be a lot easier sitting on the floor... I would think you could bicycle motion row from that position.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

+tim kirwin we'll give it a try the next time out. I agree that it might work well just sitting on the floor (except you might get a little wet?)

Jenn Grover - 8 years ago

Thanks form the review. I have been debating a kayak and this seems like a lot of effort for one person.

Long Long Honeymoon - 8 years ago

+Jenn Grover you can get inflatable kayaks too. That might be a good option for you. With a non inflatable kayak you'll have to deal with the storage issue, which I think could be a hassle for one person.

sreesekelley - 8 years ago

curious as to if Scout has responded to why the electric pump doesn't have the correct attachment? Great video, I love wildlife watching but I built a boat because we have aligators

sreesekelley Kinda looks like this is a standard pump they already offer for their non-boat inflatables so I don't think it really was designed specifically for the boat.

This is very nice and I checked the website for it but I will have to find some thing that is less than $1099.00

Could you show sometime how you have strapped and secured your generator? I enjoyed your review. It looks like it would be a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind! Yes, I am VERY careful when stepping out of our camper these days...

This 20 minute video has been out for 15 minutes and has a down vote?

Some people need a throat punch.

Maybe the downvote was wishing they had their very own? Lol Thanks for posting, we enjoy all your posts.

looks like fun even if pumping up is a pain. :)

We work together as a team... plus, now we know exactly what to expect with regard to the inflation process (where the valves are located, how to attach and use the pump, etc.). The first time we were fumbling around with everything, but now we know exactly what to do.

Long Long Honeymoon Just curious what did you do different to speed up the process?

Adventures with Gnomie - 8 years ago

Long Long Honeymoon ok so 2 hours and 30 minutes for me lol...great views and experience out on the water vs the land

The first time we inflated the boat, it took us an hour! But now we can get it done in just over 10 minutes. It goes pretty fast.
