The Boat:

Lake Champlain Troutscout Charters runs a 21-foot Trophy Bayliner Walkaround called Missy Jean, named after two very important women in the Captain's life—his mother and his wife. The Missy Jean is powered by a 150-hp Mercury outboard motor and has a Yamaha 15-hp, four-stroke trolling motor as an auxiliary. It also includes a bimini top that protects from both rain and sun. The Missy Jean is the perfect vessel for a safe and enjoyable charter experience. With US Coast Guard-approved safety features, your trip can be both secure and fun. From its luxurious interior to its reliable propulsion system, you will feel at ease knowing that The Missy Jean has all you need for a safe journey out on the water. And of course, we have not ignored those little luxuries like a port-a-potty just for the ladies!
