2016 Scout 255 LXF

Step aboard this 255 LXF and you immediately notice how much usable space Scout squeezed into a 25-footer. The wide bow with plush backrests makes it just as comfortable for cocktail cruises as for running to the next reef. High freeboard and deep cockpit give a secure, “in-the-boat” feel, ideal with kids or a full crew. The hardtop is substantial, with sturdy grab rails and spreader lighting that keeps decks functional after sunset. Storage is everywhere—under-seat lockers, in-deck fishboxes, and tidy tackle stowage—so rods and gear disappear when it’s family time. The fit and finish, from the stitching to the hardware, gives this boat a genuinely premium, big-boat vibe.

A 25-foot Scout like this is a sweet spot for these waters—big enough to handle afternoon chop with confidence, yet compact enough to tuck into tight marinas and shallow creeks. The hull’s sharp entry softens the ride when the breeze kicks up, while the moderate draft lets you explore sandbars and back-bay anchorages others skip. It’s equally at home running offshore on the right days or working the nearshore and inshore scene. With its blend of comfort seating and serious fishability, this 255 LXF is well suited to the mix of cruising, beach runs, and light bluewater duty that define boating in this area.
