Can anyone provide feedback on the Project Scott?

weight/biases/similarities to other manufacturer boards

I assume the first production run would be on point but Severne had issues with the first two Nano releases that necessitated design changes

What happened with the severne assy? Easy come, easy go.

Unfortunately there were a couple of set backs and long production delays, so because it was only being produced on a small scale SV have decided that it's probably not feasible in the current market to continue with something that is perceived as a niche board. There's quite a few of us still using asymmetricals in W.A. so we'll take the positives from them and progress from there.

I think I got the last of these assies here and I must say I certainly do not regret it.
I have been using it all along the WA coast, and it has performed better than my Mako and Nano V2 in a large variety of conditions, from sizy clean MR to messy punchy Scarbs. Loving it.
The board planes early, turns on a dime and hit the lips beautifully. It is a shame it did not get the recognition it deserves.
A real diamond on the wave.
Cordially,

I am sorry to read this. In my opinion Stone board's are magical. I've an Ultrakode 82 shaped by M. Stone year 2022, and before 2017., it turns on a dime and hit the lips brilliantly. I have used also an Ultrakode 78l and a 76l (shaped by M. Stone), both magic boards.
Hope to see as soon as possible Stone Severne production board on the market.

I've sailed the Project Scott 84 a couple days on Maui with 4.4-4.0. Certainly it is a more dedicated DLT board than the PYRO and quicker to plane that the current NANO although I have been unable to achieve quick tight bottom turns despite moving the base to the rearmost portion of the track and moving the front fins all the way rear and back fins up. I'm going to sand the ends of the fin boxes down a few mm which may do it.

It is a delightful board though with enough tail to get you on a plane early. Turns are crisp w/o any question of the rail biting. It list like a better iteration of the starboard kode ultra. Durability is good as well despite being banged around. Weight is similar to the Pyro. Hopefully sanding the fins boxes will give me a tighter radius turn for smaller waves and critical sections.

Probably just need to change fins to a more rear bias quad set up .

It may sound dumb, but what do you mean by sanding the fin boxes a few mm (increasing, decreasing length, widening?)? Aren't they fixed size? Slot boxes, I guess-13 cm maybe? And how by sanding the fin boxes the board becomes more pivoty? (Playing with positioning the fins WITHIN the boxes is my understanding). By "boxes",do you mean front, rear or both ? thanx.

The actual base of the supplied fins. I did this and the board responds well with tighter turns. It's a keeper.
