Honda Outboards and Scout Boats Create New Boat Line

Honda Marine has partnered with Scout Boats to create the Seabrook brand of boat and motor packages for boating anglers and others. The Seabrook boat line will be built exclusively by Scout, and will launch with two 19½-foot LOA models—a center console and dual console—both powered by Honda BF150iST outboards. With five available trim levels, the new models will be available via a streamlined online shopping experience in coordination with participating Honda Marine dealers.

Seabrook will offer the center-console model in three versions—Base, Sport, and Fishing—all tailored to the needs of fishing enthusiasts. Seabrook’s dual-console model—created for recreational boating and family fun—will come in two versions: Base and Sport.

The recently reengineered Honda BF150 iST outboard features Honda’s exclusive Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC), the Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST) System, Lean Burn Control, and Dual Stage Induction. The iST (Intelligent Shift and Throttle) drive-by-wire system enhances engine control and power. The 150 also offers variable speed trolling, enhanced docking, slow speed control, and a simple, easy-to-understand user interface.

Seabrook boats boast an easy-to-operate helm integrating Honda digital controls with BayStar by Dometic hydraulic steering. The center-console model includes a Honda HD-4 multi-function display with a smart interface for engine data monitoring and fuel management; an illuminated 2.75-inch Ritchie compass; Garmin Fusion 25-watt RMS/50 peak stereo with four 6-inch speakers; Bluetooth connectivity; a 12V socket and USB port; and a Lewmar stainless-steel tilt steering wheel.

Additional major amenities on each model include a Bimini top (standard on Sport packages); Igloo Marine Ultra cooler and livewell (standard on the center-console model); and Scanstrut Flip Pro phone charger. Other options include a T-top (for the center console), boat cover and engine cover, battery charger, trolling motor (Fishing package only), anchor, and head.

Both models feature UV-protected upholstered seats and cushions in exclusive Honda packages and colors. Each includes a stern swim platform with ladder, ample cup holders, rod holders and illuminated gunwale rod storage. Construction includes 100 percent hand-laid fiberglass with finished lids, hatches, and bilges. Each boat carries a three-year, limited stem-to-stern warranty, a 10-year transferable limited structural hull warranty and a standard 5-year, non-declining engine warranty with up to three additional years optional complete the package.

The Seabrook center-console model starts at $79,999; the dual-console base model starts at $78,999. For availability, packages, options and pricing, visit marine.honda.com/seabrook-boats.
