2009 Scout 282 Sportfish

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much room this 28-footer gives you to move, rig, and fight fish without feeling crowded. The hull has the classic Scout flare, so it’s a dry, confident ride when the afternoon chop stacks up. The helm layout offers excellent sightlines, and that custom glass enclosure keeps the breeze and spray manageable while still feeling open. Up forward, the cushioned seating and deep freeboard make it a comfortable, secure spot for guests or kids. Thoughtful touches like wide walkaround space, beefy hardware, and quality upholstery remind you this is a premium center console built to fish hard yet clean up nicely for family cruising.

This Scout 282 Sportfish is tailor-made for the mix of shallow bays, winding channels, and offshore runs common in this region. Its length and hull design are ideal for running the inlets on bumpy days, yet it’s still manageable to trailer or keep on a lift. The generous cockpit and livewell setup suit everything from inshore bait fishing to longer offshore trips when the weather cooperates. With reliable power and a solid ride, it’s a smart choice for anglers who want one boat that can chase redfish on the flats in the morning and run out to the reefs or ledges when the forecast turns friendly.
