Scout Dorado Boats For Sale

Scout's Dorado series is the builder's line of dual console boats, spanning models from the 215 and 220 through the 235, 255, and the flagship 288. These are boats built to cross between family cruising and fishing, with the line constructed in the Charleston, South Carolina area and carrying the Carolina bow flare Scout is known for. The 288 Dorado is the largest dual console the company makes, a successor to the 277 Dorado, while smaller models like the 215 and 220 target coastal family cruising. Buyers looking at Scout Dorado boats for sale can choose by length and powering, since the range covers single-engine outboards on the smaller hulls up to twin outboards on the larger ones.

Performance and engine setups vary across the range. The 288 Dorado is equipped with twin 300-horsepower Mercury Verados and reaches speeds in the mid to high 50s. The 255 Dorado runs twin Mercury V6 200-horsepower engines with digital throttle and shift (DTS) as its upgraded power, paired with a 132-gallon fuel tank, and rides on a deep 21.5-degree deadrise hull. The 215 Dorado is powered by a single Mercury 200-horsepower outboard with digital throttle and shift, and the 220 Dorado comes with a 200-horsepower engine with a 150-horsepower option available. The 255 measures 25 feet 6 inches length overall with an 8-foot 11-inch beam.

Helm and onboard systems lean on Garmin electronics across the line. The 255 carries a Garmin GPS, Fusion stereo, and VHF, with upgraded JL speakers and trim tab indicators, and battery switches tucked into storage under the helm. The 288 adds Garmin controls with digital switching, Mercury JPO, Zipwake trim, Mercury VesselView, plus a phone charger and glove box at a modern helm station. The 215 pairs a Garmin GPS and Fusion radio with SeaStar trim tabs and an onboard battery charger. The 220 helm uses fullback captain's chairs that convert to a bolster leaning position.

Cockpit layouts are built to convert quickly between social and fishing modes. On the 235 and 255, seats pull out and stow, the helm seat spins, and the bolster pumps up so the space shifts from open cockpit to forward-facing dinette. The 288 redesigns the port seating to set up as a picnic table for four, slide into forward-facing seating for four, or fold down into a full sunpad, with a refrigerator, freshwater sink, pull-out trash can, and optional grill behind the driver's seat. The 255 includes an inverter-powered smokeless grill, a sink, and a pull-out Yeti cooler. All keep rod holders, live wells with clear lids, and bait wells on hand for fishing.

Build quality shows in the fiberglass work, where bilges and hatches are fully gel coated with no exposed fiberglass, hatches finished on both sides, gasketed, and held by gas struts. The 288 is yacht certified, fits a large hard top and a tall windshield grooved to accept a full forward canvas enclosure, and has two dive doors at the stern. Bow storage is unusually generous for the size on the 255, which uses a through-hull anchor windlass, while the 288 runs an automatic windlass controllable from the bow or the Garmin MFD. Heads run from porta-potty compartments on the smaller boats to a cabin with toilet on the 220 and a pointed, full-headroom head on the 288. The 215 Dorado can come with a Scout-branded Phoenix tandem-axle trailer, and most models offer a bimini top, snap-on covers, and eisenglass enclosures for sun and weather protection.
