Outcast OSG Stealth Pro - Ultimate Crossover - New Color 2025

2025 Stealth Pro is the Ultimate Crossover Craft for Fly Anglers

Why It’s a Top Choice for Fly Anglers?

In a world of float tubes, kick boats, and full-frame pontoons, the Outcast Stealth Pro stands apart. Designed for anglers who demand serious performance without the bulk, this frameless watercraft has become a go-to for those navigating both stillwater and moving water with precision.

The Outcast Stealth Pro is a high-performance inflatable frameless fishing craft built for serious fly anglers who demand portability, durability, and river-ready design. Weighing just 35 lbs and built with a rock-solid urethane bladder and welded seams, this boat is easy to transport, quick to inflate, and tough enough for remote river trips, high alpine lakes, and tight-access fisheries.

Load Capacity: 450 lbs.

 Good luck finding an older model of the Stealth Pro. Both of the previous green and orange colors popped with high visibility but we find the new blue accents and the continued use of the two tone greys complements your surroundings and further adds to the "Stealth" approach.

Beyond color, what makes this boat special?
With a frame-less design – That means "No Bulk", faster setup, less weight, and more mobility. Easily drag into position down an embankment or carried. Perfect for anglers on the move. I've hoisted this boat over fences where my 14' kayak would make for quite the chore. But what exactly makes the Stealth Pro special? It's got the special sauce, the balance in features and purpose. How does it compare to other popular options in the Outcast lineup?

Let’s break it down.

Who Is the Stealth Pro Built For?

Backcountry Anglers who need a boat they can hike in with.

Stillwater Specialists fishing from low-profile craft.

Travel Angler Packs small enough for flights, truck beds, or roof boxes.

River drifters running smaller, technical waters without a trailer.

Minimalists who want serious performance with simple setup.

Multi-day trip with previous models.

My OSG Stealth Pro Experience - Ten Years and Counting

Over ten years ago I sold my frame style pontoon boat and sold my fishing kayak, took the money and invested in a OSG Stealth Pro and never looked back. Today I could overwhelm anyone with the countless stories of the great, fun times I've had and shared with this frameless, inflatable boat. I have friends from west coast to east coast who have also shared in this venture and our topic of conversations always involve where have you floated recently and what are our future plans. So what has made this experience so great?

That Guy in the background with a frame boat now owns a Fish Cat Scout, a great economical option!

My first thought that comes to mind is freedom!

Find a piece of river or stream five to ten miles long and suddenly it becomes all yours for the day. Explore the water in ways that are next to impossible on foot, learn the currents and how fish use them, set the schedule that works for you and quit looking at the time. Soon you realize nature has its own time and it rarely syncs to your watch. I found no better way to leave behind daily frustrations. Just float away from them!

Freezing winters or hot summers, Stealth Pro doesn't mind the weather

Find your own Water

How many times have you arrived at your favorite run and find another angler already beat you to it. When you float streams this no longer becomes a concern. Yeah, you would have liked to fish that run but just float on. Soon you will find the run that no one wants to hike to. It'll pay off, trust me.

Body Anchoring

What is that you ask! Very little talk out there about the benefits of the open cockpit design. Let's say you come up on a shallow gravel bar with a great bucket in front of you. Just put your feet down and hold there. Maybe stand up if you see fit. You'll have the boat around your body and the foot bar will keep you within your boat. No anchor needed. Walk around and your Stealth Pro stays with you. Let's see you do that with a kayak!

It really is different

I see guys out there in the older style frame pontoons and they think it's mostly the same thing and their frame boats more secure and stable. I had one of those too. Stealth Pro is low to the water and the center of gravity is considerably better. 

A word about Safety

No matter what style pontoon boat you choose rivers can be dangerous, period. These are not toys! They are watercraft. Rowing boats and reading water takes experience! Know your water and KNOW your experience level. Always assess your dangers and when in doubt portage. If you have no experience I recommend a starting point to be stillwater. And always wear a PFD. 

Adventure

On a three day trip with a friend on the Devil's River, Texas we had to lower our Stealth Pro's by rope straight off a 25 foot cliff to avoid an impassible waterfall. We tied to the back d-ring and lowered our boats with gear still strapped in and I'm happy to say both boats entered the water below completely upright. I'm glad I had help in doing this but after said and done I learned I could have done it by myself if I was alone. A great feature of the Stealth Pro is how light they are and easy to portage. 

The Stealth Pro in this picture is my first and original orange Stealth Pro that has since been updated to green. Other than color no other changes were made to the current green model. This Orange Stealth Pro is now over ten years old and still in use today without any problems.

Portaging

Here is another good reason to go Stealth Pro. Some river obstacles should just be portaged no matter what boat you have. Making a portage with a Stealth Pro is just plain easy. They are so lightweight. On each side of the seating area are grab handles carefully placed to balance the boat. Just remove your gear and pick up and carry where you need to go. Re-stow your gear and continue on. If you're with a buddy you can leave the gear in the boat and do your portage one boat at a time.

Ten Year Old Stealth Pro Still Going Strong

Can you really do a multi-day float with a Stealth Pro?

I've done more than I can count. With that said you really do need to be minimalistic. There is a generous load limit of 450 lbs but I would tell you stay away from that limit as much as possible. Not just because of safety but also because the more you load it the slower it rows. But if you have done any multi-day hiking trips all the same rules apply. I use a lightweight backpack style tent, jet boil for my meal needs, etc. Just don't bring your cook stove and kitchen sink and you'll be just fine.

Portability

I've always had a truck and never thought much about space for my Stealth Pro. Strap it down in the bed and go wherever. A couple of my float buddies have smaller crossover type vehicles and they always deflate and fold up there Stealth's for transport. Recently we performed our own shuttle with three Stealth Pros. We deflated and rolled up all three of them to fit into a crossover hatchback. Amazing, we still had plenty of room for all of our gear too. 

Buy Here

With the Outcast Frameless Boat Bag you could travel with your stealth on airlines with just the cost of an extra bag. I haven't done this, YET! But there has been talk about it. 

TIP:

K-Pump Mini

To inflate when launching I use an electric pump like the Outcast Hurricane 12 Volt Pump, but when doing multi-day trips you will want a hand pump option to top up on those cool mornings. The K-Pump Mini will just fit in the Stealth Pro Frameless Cargo Pocket.

Multi-Purpose

Personally I use my Stealth Pro for mostly river and stream floats. I have used it on stillwater a couple of times and it functions really well, much like a float tube. I have used kick fins and it gets around like that quite well too. 

The Experience

While I live to fish, doing your own river floating brings your fishing experience to a whole new level. No matter what the quality of the fishing is I always get great joy in drifting a river, taking in the scenery and just letting go of time and leaving the busy world behind me.

Unboxing the Outcast OSG Stealth Pro

Taking my time it really took about 13 minutes to unbox the Stealth Pro and have completely ready for water. I did shave a few minutes off by using my powered sup pump vs manual K-Pump inflation. 

FYI Note: K-Pump, K-Mini will just squeeze into the Stealth Pro Frameless Gear Pocket. It's a bit small to inflate your boat completely but it's perfect for a top off pump to have with you on your float.

Buffalo River and Smallmouth Float

On a crisp, fall morning two anglers set out on a three day river float. Autumn leaves turning and falling sets up a gorgeous scene on America's first National River.

The Buffalo National River was established by an Act of Congress on March 1, 1972, ending forever the plans of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to construct one or more dams on this river. Officially the Buffalo River is 153 miles long with 135 miles within the boundaries managed by the National Park Service.

The local region has been dry for most of the summer and the flows are just a trickle until the fall rains come. For this low, clear and slow journey we chose to do the last 24 miles of river ending our trip at the mouth entering the White River. In this stretch there are no other road accesses.

Day One was sunny and warm like a Indian summer day. Leaves are falling all around us as we push through the clear water. The first riffle revealed the prevailing species, Micropterus dolomieu or the wily smallmouth bass. The respectable specimen came out of his ledge rock hiding spot to take a hellgrammite fly pattern that has been very successful over many smallmouth pursuits. He would be one of many to fall victim to this simple black fly.

As we pushed on with our Stealth Pro's through the slow pools on the bright sunny day I soon realized I would be rowing far more than I want to for the next three days. Love the Stealth Pro but speed is not one of its attributes. While wondering if I'd been better off in a kayak each smallie that came to hand was continued testament of the fish-ability of this craft. On this day we only caught a select few of fish but each one took careful, precise navigation work to coax them from their safe refuges into the exposed, clear water.

We set camp, ate a dehydrated meal and discussed the conditions and shared our experiences of the day. Quiet was the setting as the stars became bright in the clear sky. Although off the grid we were aware of at least one other paddler on the river that launched just before us. He was in a canoe and was soon out of our site for the rest of the trip.

As we glanced to inspect a noise from the hillside we saw flashlights angling downhill. "Oh wonderful, we have guests" I believe were my words at least in my head that's what I said. Next, about 100 yards downstream they crossed the river and in the moonlight we could see they were on horseback.

Being my first time on this river I wasn't sure to expect to see others or not. I can say I didn't expect to see people on horseback. But I took it as a good sign in the fact that while accessible, not easily accessible! I'm not sure if they even saw us and we never saw them again.

That first night got very cool and morning was downright cold. My 40 degree bag was just warm enough.

Day two started out matching day one. We needed to cover some miles on this day since our late start on day one had already put us a bit behind schedule. During the morning we just focused fishing on high percentage spots and came upon a few willing participants.

As we sailed past noon the wind began to pick up. My thoughts were consumed by fighting the wind as we pushed forward but soon this would all change. The river at this point seemed to get rockier with deeper holding type of pools and more moving water. The wind was rippling the surface, meanwhile the fishing action had greatly improved.

By evening with camp set I reached for my popper rigged on my G.Loomis NRX+ Swim Fly 788-4 fly rod and set afloat in the camp water pool. With just a couple small fish inspecting the bug I began to work it faster and more aggressive trying to avoid hooking any of the small biters. That would turn out to be a good play when moments later my best smallie thus far exploded on my bug. After a moment of hesitation I set the hook solid and this fine bronze kind would come to hand.

More about that rod!

All spring, summer an fall I've been fishing with this NRX+ 788-4 Swim Fly. It really is a true, dedicated smallmouth rod perfect in these river environments. It does exactly what you ask it to do whether it be a popper on a dry line, streamer on a sink tip and everything in between. It luvs the Scientific Anglers Amplitude Bass Bug fly line as if it was made for it. It's a comfortable rod to cast all day and so far tough as nails. I have not been gentle with it. I also fished a similar rod known as the Thomas and Thomas Exocett SS-200gr. Another smallmouth workhorse.

Long day set up for an early turn-in on the second evening. A southern breeze came in to create a perfect fall camp night. The setting remained serene until the coyotes howled in the early hours of morning.

Up early the third morning. The predetermined pick up time was 5pm and we had seven or eight miles to go. Again, first time to do this float and naturally I had some concerns as what we would find toward the end of the river. Would it delta out to shallow and have to walk it? Meanwhile the southern wind grew ever stronger throughout the day. Lucky for us the general course of the river was north and our strong, southern winds really gave a boost.

Fishing on this day seemed to be the best yet. From the first couple cast we connected and rewarded with some respectable fish. The increased action got us to throw some streamers and the response was as expected, great!

It was a battle between good fishing and making ground. I checked our progress often as we pressed on with only short stops to cast prime water. Well past noon and covering alot of water the river had showed no signs of slowing down.

We came upon a group on horseback at a landmark called Elephant Rock. They were on a day ride and was not the others we saw on the first night. This wilderness area has many trails.

Almost to the end we finally did hit a wide, slow area littered in boulders. It's was a tough go on a long stretch with several times walking our craft's. Coming to the end of the bumper pool stretch we got rewarded with another fast run before pooling out along a tall bluff entering to the flow of the White River. We made our last cast along this bluff but nothing chased.

An interesting challenge to this trip is one must actually row up the White River in order to access the closest take out, otherwise it's many miles downriver to the next. Once again with some luck on this beautiful fall day very little power was being produced at the hydro dam therefore the river current was manageable to row.

Arriving to the pickup spot about ten minutes early we unpacked our boats. At the pick up we caught up with the canoeist that launched before us at the start of the trip. His name was Tom and he was just out to enjoy the outdoors and do some river cleanup in the process.

While I prefer to not see others on my trips it was interesting to see so many others out enjoying their quest in this beautiful country. Everyone respecting each other, their sport, and their space. It was a refreshing change from the destinations were all are there for the same reason.

In closing a few words to the Buffalo River itself; I hope to see you again soon and long for that day to come. Next time more water please.

Boats / Float Tubes - Get Yours NOW for Spring

I know here at the shop we’re constantly thinking about our next fishing adventure and subsequently getting things together long before we know we’ll need them. This wasn’t always the case but with supply chain shortages becoming the norm in fly fishing as well as other areas of our lives it’s time to start planning accordingly. So if you’re dreaming about kicking around your favorite lake in a float tube this spring, or planning day trips on local rivers NOW is the time to buy while we have BOATS IN STOCK! 

Why is ordering ahead important? Well, if you’ve tried to get a boat or float tube in the last year or two you may have encountered a few roadblocks. Containers sitting on ships for months just waiting to get unloaded, certain materials not available, or just that production can’t keep up with demand. This isn’t limited to just boats. 

I know I’ve said it over 100 times, along with all of my co-workers, “Unfortunately ______ item is out of stock and I’m not sure when we’ll see it come in, fingers crossed it’s sometime soon.” I’m sure to say it again this coming year for everything from reels, to boots, boats, and saltwater gear in general but WE HAVE STOCK NOW and are ready to ship. 

If you know you’ll be in the market for something that floats in the future it would be a good idea to get it on order while supplies last. We worked hard and planned ahead to have solid inventory coming into 2023 and currently have more boats in stock than ever before but with inventory changing quickly it’s best to not miss your chance to own one today. Give us a call and let us know what you’re looking for, we’d be happy to get you set up.

Outcast OSG Stealth Pro Inflatable - Benefits of Frameless Boats

On a chilly morning... 

Two anglers prepare to launch on a "do it yourself" trout float trip. The open cockpit, inflatable design of the OSG Stealth Pro makes this float as enjoyable as it is successful with benefits that go farther than the eye can see. 

I've been float fishing in my Stealth Pro for over 10 years. My first one, the old orange trimmed model pictured behind the newer green trimmed model, is still going strong with no signs of giving up anytime soon. The green boat is going on about 5 years of use and is as good as the day it was new. 

My buddy with the old frame pontoon now sports a new Fish Cat Scout. Took him about an hour to figure out our frameless design boats had worthy advantages over his old school frame design.

My Stealth Pro's have been on big rivers like the Columbia and streams smaller than the John Day. It has floated dead of winter with icicles hanging from it and floated warmwater streams in the sweltering heat of summer. They have performed countless day trips as well as many overnight floats, packed full of gear. 

The obvious:

Floating a river in your own personal watercraft provides an element that goes beyond walk / wade / drift trips. Becoming part of the rivers current gives a feeling of life in motion. Life, in a setting of serenity takes a fly fishing experience to new levels not found in wade or guide boat settings. 

Access:

Become familiar with a river by floating and you will soon realize new water that is not being fished or fished very little. You'll learn to read the currents and soon realize you are a better angler because you learned to read the currents. The wade angler is restricted in how far he can go and how accessible parts of the river are. Floating a river can open up new opportunities even when you encounter crowds. You'll soon find yourself fishing water that has been previously inaccessible.

Due to the open front design some will argue you get wetter as opposed to a wrap around style boat. This may be true and also part of the fun. If you want to stay dry go through rapids sideways. 

Lightweight:

At a dry weight of 35 lb Stealth Pro is easy to pick up and carry around obstacles or to and from launch sites. Portages and shallow water are no problem to navigate in Stealth Pro. If water becomes too shallow to float over just stand up, pick up the frameless boat from the foot rest bar and walk yourself to deeper water. 

Stable and Rugged:

I have purposely not been gentle with my Stealth's. I have dragged them across rocks and down river paths. I've dragged them across river bars and even lowered one over a 20' waterfall by rope from the rear D-ring while it was loaded with gear. Push, pull, drag or carry, whatever the situation calls for Stealth Pro will tackle it. 

All this and the most stable river boat I've experienced. Stealth Pro never feels tippy. You can lean as far as you can to one side and never be concerned of tipping. You would fall overboard long before this boat would flip. In all my experience I've never seen one flipped over and have never felt like I was ever close to being ejected. 

Lowered by rope with gear strapped in. I was curious in this setting if the Stealth Pro would right itself from total vertical drop. Both boats came down right side up. This adventure was a 3 day float on the Devil's River, TX

Gear:

The Stealth Pro packs a good amount of gear. With room for more than one rod, unlimited flies and your lunch you can go farther and search more water. With creative packing you can plan to overnight and be on the water at first light and still have enough room for your all important, morning coffee dope kit. 

Stealth:

Stealth Pro really spells it out in the first word "Stealth". An angler can move along quietly in shallow water without hardly even putting off a wake. You sit low in a stealth helping one stay out of site from cautious trout. In stillwater situations you can fin kick a stealth. 

Seams to be a lot of internet chatter about sitting low versus sitting high. Many want to sit high and stay dry. A great boat for this is the OSG Clearwater. 

Stealth Pro sits low, very low and this sets up a big advantage for some anglers in particular those who fin kick. Other advantages of being low are stealth, low center of gravity, and using your feet as a shallow water anchor. 

Yes, you might get some splash in rapids but I'm always in waders and if the rapids will allow it you can turn your Stealth sideways and avoid the splash through the open front. 

I can't find a way to stress enough here that the big advantage of a Stealth Pro Frameless boat is this ability to shallow water anchor with your feet. This feature alone has opened up a boat load of opportunity for my fishing adventures. 

Stealth Pro is more than just transportation. Stealth Pro is a fishing system that can open up new water and new opportunities that adds versatility in your approach to coldwater trout as well as warmwater smallmouth.  

The BIG Benefit:

What most don't see in an open cockpit inflatable frameless pontoon is the ability to put your feet down. One feature I've come to love about this design is the ability to sit in shallow water with feet on river bottom. Who needs an anchor!

On shorelines and gravel bars one can put their feet down and just stop. Hold yourself in place while you fish out to the holding water. If you need to stand to make a cast than just stand up. The Stealth Pro will stay between your legs and can't get away from you. When you fished the spot just sit down and float on! Sometimes I just walk with my feet while sitting down just to move along 10-20 feet and start casting again. Great way to cover water. 

Want to fish a spot again? With the power of oars on this lightweight inflatable one can go back up stream pretty easy even in moderate currents. 

I hesitate to even try and spell this out to fellow anglers. It has become one of my greatest Stealth Pro secrets that I have remained discreet about for years. It is one of the biggest advantages I have realized in the 10+ years of floating in this frameless inflatable. I have fished from kayaks and framed pontoons / rafts and none of them compete with the Stealth because they all lack this open cockpit feature. I didn't know this would be such an advantage when I first floated in my Stealth, now I can't live without it. 

This feature has changed the way I approach a day of float fishing and has changed the way I view a river. I now look for those areas that others just ignore or are inaccessible on foot.

So while your read all the internet blogs about the 5 best frameless inflatable boats to buy keep an eye out for this feature to pop up. It won't! Few recognize this advantage and those few that do, if they are like me, have kept this feature tucked quietly under their rod wraps. 

In the modern day when it seems like there are no secrets remaining to discover, look outside your fly rods and fly reels and fifty thousand flies you've collected and think about how you approach fishy water. Are you Stealth-y? I am!

Outcast Stealth Pro Frame-less Pontoon Boat Review

Stealth Pro = Versatile 

In Past articles I have written much about how fond I am of this lightweight frame-less pontoon boat call the OSG Stealth Pro from Outcast. I'll provide links to those articles at the bottom.

Today I want to share what our recent customer, Denny from Washington had to say about the Outcast Stealth Pro

Outcast Power Kick Fins

Greg: Howdy from up here in Wa. I got the Stealth wet yesterday at a lake near home. The pontoon performed like a champ. The motor worked flawlessly, rowed like a dream and the Outcast Power kick fins were perfect. The two rod holding set up worked great! Also the seat was super comfortable. I set up an anchor drop on the motor mount with a pulley there for the rope to go thru if I ever want to anchor up and still fish chironomids. That way it will stay straight for me in the wind. It was a beautiful day up there, but the fishing was still slow. Ended up with seven cut-bows and a few other bites. I am looking forward to many hours of enjoyment using it in the future. Thank you for all the tips and recomendations. Oh, it fits perfectly in the back of my 2014 chev.shortbed fullsized pickup with the toneau cover closed and locked. I am totally sold on it. Thanks again. Denny

Fits Stealth Pro and New OSG Striker

Denny does a lot of lake fishing and set his Stealth Pro up to work great for this. He went with the Outcast Frameless Motor mount and installed an electric motor to help cover large lakes.  It really shows how versatile the Stealth Pro can be. One day go from a motor and kick fins on a lake to the next day rowing a river with enough room and weight capacity to easy carry overnight gear. 

The Stealth Pro is so light (35lb) it just makes everything easier. Easy to row, easy to maneuver, easy to launch and easy to load. 

Frameless Boat Bag

While I have never done this yet...also easy to air travel with. New from Outcast is a Frameless Boat Bag complete with backpack straps and room enough to carry boat, oars and K-Pump. For the super adventures angler one could even pack this into one of those secret hidden lakes that never sees another angler. 

Back truck into garage and load!

Storage is not an issue either. Deflate it if you wish for long term or do like I did and get the Boat Hoist System and keep it ready to go all the time. I can load it in my truck in seconds and be on my way to the river. 

Aside from all the ease of use about the Stealth Pro I also want to emphasize what floating a river or lake does for you. Freedom to go where you want to go and floating away from the crowds lets you enjoy your fishing passion in peace. I get a kick out of knowing I am fishing a spot that other guys across the river can't wade to. Be nice and wave to them, lol! Also just floating and rowing a river is just a pure enjoyment. I get a feeling of being a part of the water and its currents. I look around at canyon walls and watch the birds and the ducks. I get to know the river in a different way than wading alone can offer.

Securing your rods

The above picture shows a simple modification I made to secure my rods. Oh yeah rods as in plural..another great feature of floating is you get to carry more than one rod. Using tarp bungee straps I rigged this simple system to secure my rods. It might not work too well for rods with no fight butts or lower handles.

There are other brands to consider and while I have not tried them all I did get a chance to experience a Scadden Renegade. It was a good boat too but the general consensus was the Stealth Pro was a better choice for several reasons such as a the Outcast reliable internal urethane air bladder, the more secure foot rest and a oar lock system that felt much smoother rowing. Also if ever needed it Outcast service is nothing short of excellent and that opinion comes from Gorge Fly Shop's many years of experience as an Outcast Boat dealer.
