The all-new Scout 320 LXF is a forward-seating center console model with the Nu-V3 high-performance, fuel-saving hull design. Scout’s LXF Collection comprises luxury sportfish models that showcase a unique blending of high-performance fish boats with high-end cruisers. The 320 LXF features a head under the center console pod and comfortable seating in the bow. Aft of the helm seat is a combination galley and tackle station with freshwater sink and livewell, as well as rocket launchers built into the back of the seat.
Built at the Scout yard in Summerville, South Carolina, the 320 LXF measures 32 feet, 3 inches long and the maximum power are twin Yamaha 350-hp outboard engines. An interesting feature is the state-of-the-art C-Zone digital switching electronics system. It’s easier to service than conventional electronic systems and even comes with a remote key fob that allows you to program different electronics on the boat to power on or off with the touch of a single button.
The helm features a huge dash with room for two large MFDs, with the steering wheel for the driver to port. The throttle and shifters are in a comfortable position forward of a large helm seat that can be configured for either standing or sitting. Padded gunwales offer rod storage, and a host of storage boxes are built into the deck. (843) 821-0068; scoutboats.com
