Scout LXF Boats For Sale

Scout's LXF series is the builder's luxury edition center console line, spanning from the 26-foot 260 LXF up through the 288, 377 and 400 LXF to the 530 flagship, all built in Somerville, South Carolina. These are dual-purpose boats set up for offshore fishing while carrying yacht-grade accommodations, so they suit an owner who wants hardcore fishing capability and family comfort in the same hull. The smaller 260 LXF lands a little under a quarter million, while the 530 represents roughly $3 million of equipment, giving the range a wide price spread.

Engine and speed options vary by model. The 260 LXF can be rigged with twin 200s for a cruise in the low 40s and a top end in the low-to-mid 50s, or with a single 400 that pushes toward 60 mph. The 288 LXF runs twin Mercury 300 Verados, with Yamaha 350 or 300 motors also offered. The 377 LXF comes standard with triple 400-horsepower Mercury outboards, and the 400 LXF carries twin 600-horsepower Mercuries rigged with solid pipes for clean footing across the transom. The 530 flagship runs twin Mercury 600 V12s for a 40 mph cruise and a 70 mph top speed.

Helm stations across the line use factory-installed Garmin electronics and digital switching, so pumps, lights and accessories are controlled from the touchscreens. The 400 LXF carries three large Garmin displays plus a central SmartCraft gauge, all four redundant for navigation and engine data, with a geographic vessel display that reads out fuel, water and tank values. Common equipment includes joystick control with Skyhook position hold, automatic Zipwake interceptors that level the boat without manual trim, and a patented bow anchor camera. The 377 LXF runs a 55 kW, 400 amp-hour lithium-ion battery pack that powers the air conditioning and electric grill in place of a generator, while the 530 carries both a generator and a Seakeeper below deck.

Fishing and deck layouts are detailed. The 400 LXF carries two 33-gallon live wells with acrylic sides and tops, a Scout sea chest feeding fresh seawater to the wells, six gunnel rod holders per side, multiple transom and hardtop rocket launchers, electrically tiltable launchers, and a fold-down side terrace for swimming or landing a large fish. Leaning posts include freshwater rigging sinks, cutting boards, tackle drawers and built-in trash bins. The 288 LXF and larger use a flush transom that eliminates the splash well, and electric bow tables raise from sun pad height to picnic tables or drop flush to form casting decks.

Below deck, the LXF models add real overnighting space. The 400 LXF has a forward double berth, a galley with microwave, coffee maker, electric burner and refrigerator, plus a head with a flushing toilet, porcelain sink and pullout shower. The 377 LXF cabin includes a 32-inch TV, 120-volt air conditioning, a convertible double berth and a standing wet head with an overhead rain shower and six-gallon water heater. The 377 and 530 are S-class boats built with vacuum-bagged carbon fiber and e-glass infused with epoxy rather than polyester resin, which adds strength and water resistance at higher cost. Options to weigh when shopping include interior color packages such as the Bianca finish, outriggers, sure shade extensions and engine choice.
