Scout Creates Largest Dorado Model to Date:
The All-New 245 Dorado

SUMMERVILLE, SC—Scout Boats, Inc. introduces the all-new 245 Dorado for 2009. The 245 is the largest model in the Dorado fleet--and is the perfect boat for both fishing and family fun offering the ultimate in comfort, style and performance. Designed with Scout's revolutionary NuV3 hull design, the 245 is incredibly fuel efficient and saves the customer tremendous savings on operating costs annually.

The lines of the 245 are accented by another Scout first, the design of the optional hard top. This unique design houses built-in speakers and spreader lights, and truly adds sophisticated appeal to the model.

The 245 Dorado comes standard with port and starboard Flexi Teak transom platforms with a boarding ladder, and Scout's revolutionary removable stern seat/wavegate that make it ideal for landing the catch of the day, or just enjoying a day of swimming and diving. With an overall length of 24'5" and wide beam of 8'6", the 245 provides a roomy, safe boating experience for the entire family.

The large console area contains ample room for the added convenience of a marine head option portside, as well as cushioned, adjustable captain's chairs. The oversized walk-thru windshield offers safe access to the foredeck where you'll find fully cushioned bow seating. The bow storage area contains a unique fold-out entertainment table with cup holders and a cooler as well.

The 245 features tackle and in-floor storage compartments as well as a convenient tackle/rigging station. Rod storage lines the portside gunnel, and additional stainless steel rod holders come standard. A stainless steel rub rail adds a high-class look to the boat. The flush-mounted bow, stern and spring line cleats are also stainless.

The 245 comes in exciting hull color options, from fighting lady yellow to flag blue. There's also an optional 6-disk CD changer, Sirius Satellite Radio upgrade, ski tow bar, windshield wiper and recirculating bait well.

Scout builds sportfishing, fish ‘n ski, walk around, flats and bay boat models ranging from 14' to 35'. Since it's founding nearly two decades ago, Scout Boat's goal has been to manufacture the best-built boats in its distinctive sportfishing niches. Each Scout hull is a true original, as the in-house research and design team works closely with engineering to take concepts from blueprint to production more efficiently, growing the company's world-class reputation for quality, strength, durability and value.
