2015 Scout 245 Dorado Boat in Jupiter, FL 33478 US

Scout 245 Dorado - Major Recent Refit | Under 500 Hours

This Scout 245 Dorado represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking for a proven dual-console platform that has already undergone a substantial recent refit and mechanical service.

Rather than simply cleaning the boat up for sale, the current owner invested significant time and money addressing many of the items buyers commonly encounter after purchasing a pre-owned boat. The work included all-new upholstery, extensive engine and lower-unit service, fresh bottom paint, gelcoat repairs, removal and rebedding of exterior hardware, rub rail work, swim-platform restoration, and removal of the aging SeaDek followed by polishing of the original deck surface.

With under 500 engine hours, this 245 Dorado combines Scout's versatile family-and-fishing layout with the benefit of extensive recent improvements.

MAJOR RECENT REFIT & SERVICE

Recent work includes:

• All-new upholstery throughout
• Major engine service
• Major lower-unit service
• Fresh bottom paint professionally applied at the boatyard
• Stainless-steel rub rails removed and completely rebedded
• Gelcoat stress cracks and cosmetic imperfections professionally addressed
• Swim ladder removed and rebedded
• Swim-platform steps rebedded and recaulked
• Swim-platform steps refinished with new non-skid coating
• Existing SeaDek removed
• Original deck surface underneath cleaned and professionally polished
• Extensive inspection and attention to exterior hardware and sealing
• Numerous additional cosmetic and preventative-maintenance items completed as part of the refit

This was a comprehensive effort to address the boat correctly rather than simply cover up age-related cosmetic items.

BUILT FOR FISHING AND FAMILY CRUISING

The Scout 245 Dorado has earned its reputation as an extremely versatile dual console. At approximately 24'5" with an 8'6" beam, it offers plenty of cockpit and bow space while remaining manageable for day boating, fishing and coastal cruising.

The layout allows the boat to transition easily from a morning of fishing to an afternoon of cruising or entertaining.

The spacious bow features fully cushioned seating, while the cockpit provides a removable stern seat and Scout's innovative wave-gate arrangement. Dual swim platforms make getting in and out of the water easy, and the enclosed head compartment adds an important level of convenience for longer days aboard.

• Aerated baitwell
• Fish box with diaphragm pump

A PRE-OWNED BOAT WITH THE BIG WORK ALREADY ADDRESSED

What separates this 245 Dorado from many comparable older boats is the extent of the recent work.

Items such as upholstery, bottom paint, engine and lower-unit maintenance, deteriorated sealant, rub-rail bedding, swim-ladder hardware, swim-platform seams and aging deck coverings can quickly turn into a substantial expense after purchasing a used boat.

Much of that work has already been addressed on this Scout.

With under 500 hours, extensive recent mechanical servicing and a significant cosmetic and structural-detailing refit, this 245 Dorado deserves serious consideration from anyone searching for a versatile dual console without wanting to immediately tackle a long list of deferred-maintenance projects.
