Scout XSF Boats For Sale

The Scout XSF line of center consoles spans from the compact 215 XSF to the larger 345 XSF, built around the brand's recognizable hull profile and a split personality that handles serious fishing aft and family lounging forward. The 215 XSF measures 21 feet 6 inches overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches, a draft of 15.75 inches, a 20-degree transom deadrise, and a dry weight of 2,776 pounds. It carries 82 gallons of fuel and is rated to a maximum of 250 horsepower, making it a true 21-foot boat that fits a garage, a modest tow vehicle, and a tighter budget without giving up Scout's build standards.

Performance on the 215 XSF tracks with the outboard chosen. Rigged with a 200-hp outboard, the boat cruises in the mid-30s and approaches a top speed near 50 mph. Drop to a 150-hp outboard and it still runs in the mid-40s, and a 2022 example fitted with a Mercury 150 used an upgraded propeller for better hole shot, improved fuel efficiency, and slightly better top end. The helm carries flip-up bolster seating on the captain and co-captain chairs, an elevated footrest, an adjustable steering wheel, and room for electronics; switches sit in the center of the console with indicator lights so you can see what's on at a glance.

Fishing features are the business end of the 215 XSF. Four rocket launchers line the back of the leaning post, four more sit on the T-top, and four rod holders are integrated along the transom, alongside a corner live well plumbed for raw water and a cooler under the leaning post. The transom seat flips up easily for a comfortable ride in chop and folds away for working room, and a pass-through transom opens to an integrated swim platform with a ladder. Build quality shows in the linered bilge finished in fresh gelcoat, hand-laid construction, and finished fiberglass behind every hatch, with drains running from compartments and cup holders to the bilge.

What sets the 215 XSF apart from other 21-foot center consoles is the forward console lounger, a feature normally reserved for larger boats, paired with a large insulated coffin-style fish box up front with its own drain. A head compartment tucks under the console with storage to spare, and the bow seats and backrests are removable for fishing days. Equipment seen on well-kept examples includes a Garmin display, SmartCraft gauges, a Bluetooth Fusion stereo, blue LED lighting under the gunnel, an onboard battery charger, and a Phoenix swing-tongue tandem-axle trailer for easier storage.

The larger 345 XSF moves the line toward yacht territory while keeping hardcore fishing features. Its standout is the amidships cabin under the center console, a multi-purpose space with a convertible berth that doubles as a lounge, a full porcelain head, a 12-volt microwave, and optional 12-volt air conditioning run through an inverter. Up in the bow, a lounge system with an armrest is finished in the optional Cayenne upholstery combining fabric and leather-like vinyl, while a fiberglass electric sun shade slides back at the touch of a button to cover the aft seats. Other touches include a 12-volt refrigerator in the starboard aft console, a tuckaway transom seat, an optional transom live well, and a transom door that hides into the platform when closed.

When weighing a Scout XSF for sale, match the model to your use: the 215 XSF suits buyers who want one boat for fishing and family days at a size that tows and stores easily, while the 345 XSF adds cabin accommodations and cruising comfort. On either, confirm the engine rating and rigging, since outboard horsepower directly drives the top speed and cruise numbers you'll see on the water.
