Scout 305 LXF Boats For Sale

The Scout 305 LXF is a center console built around offshore fishing and family days on the water, with a layout that works equally for trolling a Live Well or running to a waterfront dinner. It carries a full walkthrough transom, a foam-padded swim platform that stays comfortable underfoot, and an integrated rear bench seat with a built-in high backrest and armrests. A port-side dock door comes standard, paired with a dive door and a stowable swimming-pool-style ladder so boarding is easy from either side. The cockpit is self-bailing with deck drains, and pump-out fish boxes sit in the floor on both port and starboard sides.

Power options span several outboard packages. Boats have been rigged with twin 300-hp Mercurys, Yamaha F300 outboards good for a 60 mph top end, Mercury V10 350 Verados, and the larger Mercury V10 400 Verados, most paired with four-blade stainless props and joystick control. Handling is steadied by trim systems including Zipwake and the Seakeeper Ride, which auto-adjust for roll and pitch. The Mercury joystick makes the boat highly dockable, and on the V10 packages the digital throttle and shift includes Skyhook and autopilot.

The helm is set up for serious electronics and comfort. It carries twin 16-inch Garmin displays, a Mercury VesselView screen for engine data, a black Edson steering wheel on a tilt base, and the JPO joystick with binnacle controls. Flip-down bolsters and fold-down armrests on both captain and co-captain seats let you stand or sit, and a full glass windshield gives clear forward visibility with a prominently displayed compass. The helm also includes air conditioning, a Fusion Bluetooth stereo head unit, VHF radio, wireless phone charger, USB hookups, and JL Audio speakers including four in the hardtop with an upgraded sub and amp.

Fishing and prep features center on the leaning post, which houses a freshwater sink, a Corian countertop, a cutting board prep area, a glove box, and a pull-out 35-quart Yeti cooler topped with a Scout-logoed seat cushion on a slider with a stainless grab rail. Tackle storage runs to both port and starboard, including a three-drawer cutting board station, and the boat is fitted with rod holders, rocket launchers on the hardtop, cranking outriggers, a fold-out trash can, and raw and freshwater wash-downs.

The bow is a social zone with forward loungers featuring molded-in fiberglass backrests, a chaise lounge up front that seats two adults with fold-down armrests, and cup holders plus a recessed nonskid phone tray. Storage sits beneath the bow seats and in the floor, with cooler seats port and starboard. A bow shade kit with rod-holder receivers and stainless eyelets comes installed, and a removable bow table is an available option. A through-stem anchor windlass is controlled by foot pedals on the foredeck and from the helm, with a freshwater connection to rinse the chain.

Belowdecks, the cabin is accessed from the port side of the console and offers about 6 feet of headroom, a private head with a porcelain toilet and sink, a berth with a fold-up backrest for storage or naps, a medicine-cabinet mirror, and air conditioning. The cabin also holds the batteries, switches, keys, breakers, and battery charger. Trim and color packages include the Midnight Edition with black powder-coated hardtop, grab rails, dash, and Edson wheel, plus black rub rail with a stainless insert, offered in hull colors such as Alpine gray and shark gray with Grigio gray-and-cream upholstery. Recessed cleats and quick-connect fender pros keep lines and fenders organized. Scout 305 LXF boats for sale appear in 2025 and 2026 model years.
