Gumotex Scout

More Details

The Gumotex Scout is a full sized open canoe almost 15ft long and has a carrying capacity of over 450kg. This means it can seat a whole family of 2 adults and 2 smaller children plus their gear. Yet the Scout will also pack down into a 100L bag for easy storage and transport. Here you have a full sized family craft that will fit in the boot of a Ford Fiesta!

The Scout has been designed to be stable and confidence inspiring allowing anyone to just step in and paddle off. The construction is of tough Nitrilon with wooden seat slats - this boat is built to last. Simply unroll the canoe, fix in the three seats and with a few minutes pumping you are good to go. The Scout comes with grab handles fore and aft as well as painters already fitted and a pressure relief valve in the floor to protect against over inflation.

Ideal for lakes, rivers, canals or even white water up to grade 2, the Scout is easy to portage around locks and over obstacles. Once you are finished on the water, the single layer Nitrilon fabric dries quickly and with push push valves the Scout deflates quickly and is easily rolled back up and packed away ready for another adventure.

Scout Eco+ & Standard Specifications

Both the Eco+ & Standard versions of the Scout are constructed from same heavy duty Nitrilon material and have identical proportions with 3 wooden slate seats, front & rear carry handles and painter lines.

The Scout standard benefits from the following additional features that are not included in the Eco+ model:

In summary the Scout Eco+ will likely suit the needs of most recreational and family paddlers that plan on using the Scout on placid or gentle moving water. Those planning on more adventurous pursuits in rougher white water will likely benefit from the additional features of the Scout Standard.
