Tent arrived today. Easy setup and takedown (a little tricky but a simple 3-step procedure does the trick; video provided). Length as stated (102"). Width is a little flexible (57"). Sides can be compressed a bit. I'll be eager to see if it is indeed waterproof and how it fits on my boat.

Some pluses on this tent. A door on both ends which will give me access to bow and stern. Side windows which can be opened/closed from inside the tent. All four openings have screens.

Dale, Not to hijack the thread, but I would like to follow closely, your efforts with the tent.
I am anticipating employing some kind of tenting arrangement for the SCAMP and if I can get something off the shelf and not have to engineer/sew something together from scratch, I would prefer it!  :D

LOTSA Pics, Please!!  ;D

I suspect that if more than a light or short rain happens water will get into this tent. However. a tarp over the boom would probably be sufficient to keep water out. Also, high winds have a way of deforming the walls pushing them down unless there are guy ropes to the sides of many backpacking tents. Think mountaineering tents. So, consider doing this as well as tying the stake loops down when setting the tent up.
 
I too am interested as it would be roomier for two people if it could fit on the Scamp. I did a search on Amazon and found this one-person option that would easily fit on a Scamp.
