Scout 380 LXF Boats For Sale

The Scout 380 LXF is a 38-foot luxury center console built by Scout Boats in Summerville, South Carolina, the company founded by Steve Potts and his wife Diane. It measures 11.7 meters long with a beam of 3.7 meters, and the hull is produced by vacuum infusion of epoxy resin, with the deck and reinforcement structures built using the same method. Dry weight is about 6.5 tonnes, though a boat equipped with a generator, air conditioning and a gyro stabilizer can approach 10 tonnes ready to cruise. It is set up as both a serious offshore fishing platform and a family day boat, with high topsides that give a deep, protected feel in rough water.

Power on the 380 LXF runs from triple Mercury Verado 350 outboards, 1,050 horsepower total, up to quad 400 Verados; boats built with the triple setup carry the engines on a patented reinforced transom, and quad-engine examples have been rigged with as much as 1,600 horsepower at the stern. Top speed reaches around 60 mph on the quad 400 configuration. The two-step hull reduces the immersed surface at speed and feeds air into the aft sections to cut resistance. The boat planes at 3,000 RPM and 13.5 knots using roughly 100 liters per hour, runs 25 knots at about 130 liters per hour, and reaches 33 knots at 4,300 RPM burning about 135 liters per hour. Fuel capacity is more than 1,500 liters, with a separate diesel tank dedicated to the generator, so range is generous and running hard is the efficient way to use it.

The helm is a glass cockpit built around triple Garmin displays, typically 16-inch screens, with Mercury vessel view and Helm Master, a joystick, autopilot and Skyhook, digital throttle and shift, and an Edson wheel. Traditional toggle switches are replaced by digital switching integrated into the touchscreens, with hidden redundant switches for critical items such as bilge pumps, spreader lights and the shade function. Triple helm seats include flip-down bolsters, armrests, and on some boats heated, climate-vented seating. A Seakeeper gyro stabilizer is a common option, fitted as a Seakeeper 5 (priced around $55,000) or Seakeeper 6, integrated into the stringer grid that Scout engineers specifically to handle its torque.

The cockpit centers on a 100-gallon live well in the transom, in-floor fish boxes port and starboard, and rod holders along the transom and gunwales, with capacity for up to 26 rods using outriggers, rocket launchers and the rod racks. A walkthrough transom with a starboard entry door and a pull-out aft bench opens the space for fishing, and a port-side beach platform lowers electrically for boarding from the water. A patented system drops actuating rod holders down from the hardtop when the aft Shurshade is deployed. The aft-facing stern seat converts to a summer kitchen with a grill, heat plate and freshwater sink, the heat plate folding down to cap the burner when finished.

Below deck, the cabin offers full standing headroom, hardwood floors, a galley with refrigeration, a cooktop, microwave and sink, and a separate head with a full shower and VacuFlush toilet. A lounge converts to a full-size berth for two, there is a dedicated rod storage wall, and entertainment runs to a flat-screen TV up to 32 inches with JL Audio and Fusion stereo throughout. In the bow, deep two-row lounge seats sit low behind high topsides, with an electrically actuated high-low table that drops to a filler cushion or all the way to the floor, plus storage under the seats and in the deck.

Scout 380 LXF boats for sale tend to be late-model, heavily optioned examples; 2020 listings have appeared with quad Mercury 400s and a few hundred engine hours, Seakeeper stabilization, zip wake auto trim tabs, bow thruster, FLIR thermal night camera, Garmin open array radar, KVH and DirecTV, plus extended engine and interior component warranties. Upholstery is Scout's Brie Heritage material with an ultra-leather feel, offered in Heritage and Cayenne, and the brand's fit and finish shows in counter-molded liners, polished hatch edges and finished windlass compartments. When weighing one, account for how the options load affects weight: the more you add, the closer cruising weight climbs toward 10 tonnes against the rated horsepower.
