Scout 195 Sportfish

The Scout 195 Sportfish (19’5″ LOA, 8’6″ beam) runs on the builder’s revolutionary NuV3 fuel-efficient, high-performance hull design. The Scout 195 Sportfish has extra-wide gunwales and hull depth help make the boat a truly seaworthy vessel. Stainless steel hardware and cup holders, ample rod and tackle storage, a leaning post aerated bait well, and a convenient removable 94-quart cooler in front of the console complete with cushions are among the standard features available. Four stainless steel, flush-mount rod holders, rod storage under the gunwale, and room for four more rods at the console offer plenty of rod storage for you and your crew. An optional T-top comes with rocket launchers as well. In addition, other standard features include two stern jump seats, a 12-volt plug, compass, glove box, console storage compartment, and swim platform for easy boarding from the water. Optional equipment on the 195 SF includes a JBL AM/FM stereo with iPod jacks, hydraulic steering, Bimini top, bow cushion, leaning post backrest, a folding back rest seat with ski tow, and choice of four hull colors. Powered by a Yamaha 150-hp F150 outboard engine, the 195 Sportfish runs to a top speed of 49.1 mph and cruises at 25 mph.

Albury Brothers 33

The Albury Brothers 33  is designed with an 11-foot beam forward of the console that tapers down to 9.5 feet at the stern.

At 33′ LOA, 11′ beam, the design not only helps balance the boat with the weight of the engines but also reduces the underwater running surface to reduce drag.

The 33 has substantial freeboard but doesn’t take away from her beautiful sheer line. The wide beam allows plenty of room for up to 14 people to easily move around the boat, and a walkaround livewell is convenient for those out to fish. Carrying on the tradition of round-bilge boats, the Albury Brothers 33 provides a seaworthy ride on the water and with twin 350-hp outboards, she runs 51 mph at top speed and cruises at 35 mph for up 434 miles.

The Albury Brothers 33 was born out of demand for a big sister to the builder’s 27-footer. Willard Albury and crew tweaked the hull plug until it was perfect at the company shop on Man O’ War Cay, Abaco, Bahamas. The 11′ beam tapers down 18 inches at the stern, a design that keeps her end light and reduces drag. The 33 has substantial freeboard, while still maintaining an attractive shear line. Cavernous storage abounds in the forward seating area, fish boxes, console head compartment, and the aft lazarette.
