Scout 235 XSF

Scout 235 XSF

Built upon Scout’s NuV3 hull design, the  Scout 235 XSF offers a standard powder-coated T-top hardtop with LED spreader lights fore and aft and a fully integrated windshield.

A notable feature: Scout did away with the splash well at the transom by extending the outboard shaft that allows for a level platform across the entire swim deck.

Options include power-assist hydraulic steering, two LED underwater lights, 15-foot outriggers, rocket launchers, Edson steering wheel, self-contained porcelain head or Porta-Potti, and a removable teak bow table that makes the 235 XSF both fishing and family friendly.
