Scout 240 XSF Boats For Sale

The Scout 240 XSF is a center console built for both fishing and family days on the water, offered in 2025 and 2026 model years. It pairs a fishable cockpit with comfortable seating fore and aft, and the boats reaching dealers are typically rigged with a 300-horsepower Mercury Verado V8 outboard finished in Scout white or Fusion Pearl White to match the hull. The deeper-V hull carries a pronounced Carolina flare at the bow, which keeps spray down and produces a dry ride. It suits buyers who want a single boat that can troll for fish in the morning and entertain guests in the afternoon.

The 300-horsepower Mercury Verado V8 is the preferred power package for this model, fitted with Mercury active trim, digital throttle and shift, and Vessel View engine displays at the helm. Many 240 XSF boats add the SeaKeeper Ride system below decks, which manages running attitude automatically as you advance the throttle and helps the boat ride like a larger hull in chop. The Verado runs with the exhaust closed off, keeping the stern quiet enough to entertain or fish without engine drone.

At the helm, the dash is sized for Garmin displays running from a 10-inch unit up to the Garmin 1243, with examples also carrying the Garmin 942, a Garmin VHF, and a compass. The leaning post uses spring-loaded seats that rotate up into a leaning bolster or flip down to a seat, with flip-up armrests and a dedicated foot rest. Other helm details include the upgraded Edson steering wheel with a power knob, Fusion audio with an upgraded sound system and subwoofer, USB connections, a wireless phone charger, and a lockable glove compartment. An integrated windshield ties into the hardtop for weather protection.

The stern is built around a full-width swim platform with a starboard walk-through door, a robust ski tow, and a three-step swim ladder, finished on some boats with SeaDek-style synthetic teak. A pull-out transom seat folds away for fishing, and a recirculating bait well sits in the port corner, with a 15-gallon live well noted on some examples. Raw and fresh water washdowns, factory quick-release fender pros that deploy without using a cleat, pop-up cleats, and a centralized switching panel for lighting, wells, and washdowns round out the cockpit. The upgraded leaning post adds tackle storage, a knife-and-pliers holder, built-in tackle boxes, four rod holders, and a sliding Yeti cooler beneath.

Forward, the bow centers on a large coffin box with a pump-out drain that doubles as a fish or drink box, topped by a sun pad and wrap-around seating with removable backrests. Strip the cushions and the bow converts to a casting deck; add the teak table for lounging, served by JL Audio speakers and bow rod cup holders. The anchor locker sits under a finished hatch, and boats can be wired for a windlass. Inside the console is a self-contained pump-out or VacuFlush head with standing headroom, plus dedicated storage for the teak bow table and access to the batteries and main control panel.

Build quality shows in details like the polished bilge, finished hatch edges, padded side rails, and pop-up cleats throughout. Hull color options seen on the 240 XSF include Alpine White, midnight blue, and crystal blue against the Scout white hull, with a midnight package adding a black hardtop and black powder-coated rails, and a Grigio interior pairing gray upholstery with synthetic teak. Boats can be packaged with an aluminum WCO tandem-axle trailer with brakes and custom mag wheels. When shopping a Scout 240 XSF for sale, weigh the leaning post, head, cooler, audio, and SeaKeeper Ride options, since these vary boat to boat and define how well the hull is equipped.
