Starting at a young age of 9 years old Scott went to work at a local marina in his hometown just so that he could be on boats. He started out mopping rental boats before owning his own boat at age 10. He grabbed an old garvey from the marina, fixed it up and started a small crabbing business.

By age 15 he was mating on a tournament sport fishing boat, which he eventually took over the helm before starting his own...
