2019 Scout 235 XSF

*Financing Available with MarineMax*

Scout’s 235XSF is a good example of a new hybrid fishing/family center-console boats. Its size is great, big enough to be safe anywhere in the open ocean in reasonable weather, with enough room for serious fishing and family day cruises, but small enough to run well with a single engine and to tow on a dual-axle trailer without special permits behind a full-sized SUV. This model is built on Scout’s convex NuV3 hull, in which the deadrise increases moving outward from the keel, opposite the shape of most builders’ variable deadrise hulls. The shape tends to push water away from the hull. The 235 XSF bow has a “Carolina” flare that keep your passengers dry and comfortable. Scout’s attention to detail shows in little touches like grab rails, beverage holders (plumbed to drain to the bilge), and small bins with non-skid surfaces to hold sunglasses, suntan lotion, and cell phones. The accommodating center-console dashboard offers a locking glove box to starboard with USB outlets inside, plus cup-holders. In the middle of the dash sits a gauge package, flanked to port by an intuitive Garmin 943XS touchscreen electronic display that can run anything from GPS and sonar to engine data. The T-top is a patented Scout design with sturdy supports and an acrylic windshield with side panels that will provide welcome shelter from the rain and wind-chill. There’s a 15-gallon livewell in the transom to port and two-rod horizontal storage under the gunwales port and starboard. A rocket launcher on the aft side of the T-top is an option, as are multiple in-gunwale holders. This unit comes with the Marcury 300HP Verado with only 36 hours and includes an EzLoader tandem aluminum trailer.  This boat is in excellent shape and is ready to hit the water.
