2013 Scout 262 Abaco

Step aboard the 262 Abaco and you immediately notice how much thought Scout put into usable space. The hardtop and wraparound windshield give you a dry, shaded helm with excellent sightlines, while still feeling open to the breeze. Rod storage and tackle spaces are tucked away smartly so the cockpit stays uncluttered when you’re entertaining instead of trolling. Inside, the cabin finish feels more “mini-yacht” than “fishing rig,” with rich upholstery and clever storage under cushions and steps. The helm layout is intuitive, with everything within easy reach so you can run the boat comfortably standing or seated. It’s the kind of layout that makes long weekends on the water feel effortless.

This 26-foot walkaround shines in local waters where conditions can change quickly. The deep-V hull provides a reassuring ride when afternoon chop kicks up, yet her size keeps docking and trailering manageable for a small crew. With an enclosed cabin, you can escape sudden squalls, store gear out of the sun, or stretch out for an impromptu overnight after a long day offshore. The walkaround design is ideal for fishing structure or beaches, giving safe, easy access all the way forward. Add in efficient twin outboards and you get the range to explore barrier islands, nearshore reefs, and winding back channels without feeling limited by distance.
