2016 Scout 275 Dorado

Twin outboards, a sweeping wraparound windshield, and plush bow seating make this 275 Dorado just as comfortable on a sunset cruise as it is on a sandbar raft‑up. The portside walkthrough keeps the cockpit open and social, while the convertible aft seating lets you shift from trolling spread to cocktail lounge in seconds. Deep freeboard and high-quality stainless hardware give a sense of security and substance under way. At the helm, the ergonomics shine—comfortable bolsters, clear sightlines, and room for modern electronics. Add in the hardtop with integrated storage and lighting, and you’ve got a versatile day boat that feels far bigger than her length on the spec sheet.

Waters here demand a boat that can switch gears quickly—from nearshore runs to lazy afternoons on the hook—and the 275 Dorado is built for that rhythm. The deep-V hull softens the chop common on busy weekends, while the generous beam keeps everyone steady when you’re rafted up or drifting. Shallow draft is a plus for sneaking onto sandbars, yet the hull still feels confident when the breeze kicks up. With abundant seating and shade under the hardtop, family and friends stay comfortable during long days outside. It’s an easy boat to handle around tight docks, but still has the presence and capability of a much larger offshore‑minded platform.
