NEW YORK, May 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
and Scout Boats, Inc. announced today that Scout is the first boat
builder to provide its customers a three-month subscription to
SiriusXM's satellite-delivered marine weather, information, and
audio services. Scout is a leading independent boat
manufacturer in the recreational marine industry, specializing in
luxury sport fishing center console, dual console and bay boat
models.
Scout customers who purchase a boat equipped with a SiriusXM
receiver will get three months of SiriusXM Marine Offshore Weather,
SiriusXM's top-level weather package, as well as three months of
the SiriusXM All Access programming package, which offers the full
spectrum of SiriusXM audio entertainment. This mirrors the
successful SiriusXM program offered to millions of consumers each
year as they purchase new cars and trucks.
"Much like Scout, SiriusXM is second to none. Our
customers are already familiar with SiriusXM audio in their
vehicle, so it's natural to want it on their boat," said
Dave Wallace, COO of Scout Boats.
"We design our boats primarily for sport fishing enthusiasts, and
we think it's important for them to also be able to see graphical
weather and other key information on their chartplotter/MFD – to
help them find where fish are biting. Plus these services make
their time on the water more enjoyable."
"We are very pleased Scout is the first to adopt our new program
offering three months of SiriusXM satellite weather, fishing
information, and audio with the purchase of a new boat," said
Dave Wasby, VP Aviation, Marine, and
Music for Business, SiriusXM. "These boaters will get to
experience first-hand the value of seeing graphical weather and
fishing information on their chartplotter/MFD, especially when they
are out of cellular coverage. In addition, they can enjoy
SiriusXM's world class entertainment programming – including
commercial-free music, plus sports, talk, comedy and more – while
they're out on the water."
Scout Boats feature SiriusXM Marine compatible
chartplotters/MFDs and receivers by Garmin. SiriusXM Marine
Offshore Weather features include:
- Graphical Weather Radar with Storm Cells and Lightning overlaid
on the navigational charts.
- Sea Surface Temperatures to quickly locate temperature breaks
where fish are likely to be biting.
- Marine Zone Forecasts, Marine Alerts, Weather Watch Boxes and
Storm Tracking.
- Weather Fronts and Isobars to identify changing conditions and
help determine the best times to fish.
The All Access programming package is SiriusXM's most extensive
offering and includes Howard Stern,
every NFL, MLB®, and NBA game, every NASCAR® race, plus NHL® games,
PGA TOUR® coverage and live college sports, as well as
SiriusXM's wide variety of commercial-free music, plus talk
programming, comedy and several exclusive online-only channels.
All-Access subscribers also get access to SiriusXM programming when
they are not on the water, on the SiriusXM app and online at
www.siriusxm.com.
Scout builds center console and dual console sport fishing
models, along with XS/bay boat models, ranging from 17' to 53'.
Since its founding nearly three decades ago, the company's goal has
been to manufacture the best-built boats in its distinctive sport
fishing niches. Each Scout hull is a true original, as the in-house
research and design team works closely with engineering to take
concepts from blueprint to production more efficiently, growing the
company's world-class reputation for quality, strength, durability
and value.
