Gumotex Scout

Gumotex Scout

The Scout from leading inflatable brand Gumotex is a full sized open boat with a full carrying capacity of over 450kg's. Like all traditional Canadian Canoes, the Scout has been designed for carrying heavy loads. This allows it to seat a whole family and overnight camping equipment, for on-water adventures and trips.

The major advantage the Scout has over other Canadian Canoes is that it is inflatable. Whereas other 14 ft canoes weigh in excess of 35kg's and can be a struggle to transport on a car roof rack system. The Scout packs down into a 100L bag for storage and transport, and can be transported in most family car boot spaces and weighing 25kg's can be carried to the water's edge with ease. Designed for use on lakes, rivers, canals or moving white-water (up to Grade 2), the Scout's light weight also lends itself for easy portaging around trickier rapids or canal locks.

Designed with stability in mind for beginner to intermediate paddlers, rather than expert paddlers looking for high performance or racing. The material is tough Nitrilon combined with plywood seats, ensuring this canoe is fit for purpose- durable and strong. Simple to use and operate, Gumotex has a well thought out inflation system with easy push-push valves, a pressure relief valve built into the floor in-case of over inflation. Other nice features include forward and rear carry handles and painters already attached.
