2019 Scout 235 XSF

The 235 XSF hits that sweet spot between serious offshore capability and easy, family-friendly handling. Wide walkaround space, high freeboard, and deep seating keep everyone secure when the seas get lumpy, while the sharp entry and variable deadrise hull help slice through chop instead of pounding over it. Scout’s trademark fit-and-finish is everywhere—stainless hardware, tight upholstery, and smart storage tucked under nearly every cushion. The forward lounge area converts quickly from casting deck to sun pad to dining space, so you can run out at first light to chase fish and still be set up for a lazy sandbar afternoon. It’s a boat that feels bigger than its length, without the hassle of a large-center-console footprint.

In these waters, conditions can swing from glassy mornings to breezy afternoon chop, and the 235 XSF is built for that versatility. Its efficient hull delivers a comfortable ride when the breeze is up, yet it floats shallow enough to poke into creeks, back bays, and island edges. The open bow layout with wraparound seating is ideal for a crew that splits time between fishing, cruising, and beach-hopping. Plenty of insulated storage lets you pack provisions for a full day without crowding the deck. Add in the protection of the T-top and the confident, predictable handling, and this Scout is right at home in a coastal area where you want one boat that can truly do it all.
