fishinJohn Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I have a Clam one man flip over, I think it is a scout that I bought used a few years ago. I am not sure what year it was built but it is till in great shape. If possible I would like to buy a thermal replacement skin so I looked at Clam's page. Maybe I looked in the wrong spot but it seemed like they only offer a replacement that has a thermal roof, not a fully insulated skin. Sound right? My question is does anyone know if other companies make replacement skins for a Scout that is fully insulated? I thought I saw some options like this in years past but haven't kept up lately.

Scott O. Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Have you tried contacting Clam about seeing if they could send you a full thermal skin for your Scout? They make the Scout XL Thermal that has a full thermal skin covering. Maybe they can get ahold of one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinJohn Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 I gave this a shot and they replied saying 'sorry, but here is a link to a $400 new shack'. I guess I shouldn't be surprised there isn't a better option. I thought about adding a liner of my own but I just don't see that working out well. I think I'd rather put the money towards a flotation suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dairyman Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I just picked up a new otter hideout for not much more then what clam is telling you---totally thermal too. Reeds has them in walker and they do ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naturboy Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I have an older Fish Trap Pro which is not much bigger than the Scout and I took an old polyester blanket doubled it and sewed it into a quilted pattern then used a spray adhesive to attach it to the back of the shelter on the inside. This worked great as it was a white blanket it makes the shelter brighter inside. I always put the back of the shelter into the wind and this stops that wind in its tracks. Very happy with it. Not a better use for a 25 year old baby blanket anywhere. I think it helps as much as the Thermal Top if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drscholl14 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Last year I replaced my Clam Nanook skin with a full thermal Nanook skin. Maybe they just don't offer it in the scout size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
