Scout 260 LXF

Scout is refreshing its model lineup, starting with the new 260 LXF. This 26-footer is a major upgrade to the 255 LXF, thanks in part to a standard Seakeeper Ride vessel attitude control system.

Stability plus! If you are new to Seakeeper Ride, this is the newest version of a system that eliminates up to 70% of underway pitch and roll providing comfort for your passengers and control and confidence for the skipper.

In-floor fishboxes, six stainless steel flush-mount rod holders, under gunnel rod storage for two of your valuable rods, a raw water washdown and hardtop-mounted rocket launchers all combine to make a day of offshore fishing effortless.

Notable features on the 260 LXF include a side dive door, an extended walkable transom, a forward lounge seat and an integrated fiberglass hardtop. Aesthetically, the hardtop complements the sleek profile and offers protection from the elements.

At the helm, opt for multiple Garmin display screen upgrades, an autopilot system or power-assist hydraulic steering. Scouts are designed to accommodate single or dual engines up to 400 hp. This allows for Mercury or Yamaha Four Stroke outboards, each featuring a variety of new features aimed at easing maintenance while providing ultimate fuel efficiency.

Fuel capacity is 146 gallons, and a freshwater system is plumbed to include a step-inside console with a porcelain head.

Scout models are defined by their 100% hand-laid construction, superior fit and finish, best strength-to-weight ratio in its class, and completely finished bilge, lids, doors and hatches. Each hull is unique to the boat’s size and is engineered to deliver the best fuel-efficient ride. The 260 LXF is a little bit wider than most, at 8 feet 11 inches, translating into more cockpit space and a more stable fishing platform at rest.
