The I/O scouts (1986-87) had the cockpit moved forward to make room for the V-8 but didn't have the long bow look of the 88 & 90 yrs O/B boats. The 21' Scout deck mold I am using was designed for an O/B and I really don't want to move away from the "Classic Saccenti" styling that gives the boat it's character and mystique. We do have plans on the drawing board for a center console fishing version of the Scout.

I am definately no expert in the field, but maybe I can help your understanding of the bagging process. It may help if you think of it this way. Once the bag installed and the pump is running, assuming there are no leaks, you will have 1 atmosphere of pressure (29.92 inches of mercury at sea level) which translates to approximately 15 psi of pressure from the atmosphere being evenly applied to the entire surface of the part that you are laminating. This atmospheric pressure being applied would take the place of the "interior" mold that you used in your example. The plasitc bag is essentially the interior mold. The beauty is that the bag will take the shape of whatever you are laminating. There are no voids at all, as even pressure is being placed eveywhere. Another factor is that there is a layer of quilting material between the part and the bag that absorbs all of the excess resin. Once the glue is dry, the quilt and excess resin are peeled off the part and discarded. I hope this helps. Again, I am no expert, just wanted to share a perspective.

I'm guessing the hull mold would be the same. Just a different deck mold.
Am I correct?

Defender Powerboats consulted with Bob Saccenti for his recommendations on stringer material type, construction and placement. Once the stringers height and longitudinal dimensions were calculated they were trimmed to fit then glassed inside the new 21' Scout hull. Just about ready to pull the hull out of the mold !

I'm going to let the Coast Guard give me the max engine rating before I decide for sure but I'm guessing a 200 or 225 hp.
The new Scout is going to be much lighter than the previous ones built so I believe a 200 or 225 will work fine.
Plus, this will be my "Demo" boat and safety is going to be my #1 concern especially when customers are driving it.
