Scout Unveils New 262 XSF Sportfish Model

SUMMERVILLE, SC—Scout Boats, Inc. has come away from the drawing board with another winner with the introduction of the all-new 262 XSF. The 262 XSF is a forward seating model, derived from the company’s popular 262 Sportfish, and delivers the ultimate in sportfishing action and performance without sacrificing comfort or style.
 
This new forward seating model, a first for Scout Boats, offers two removable forward seat backs that can be stowed away easily in a dedicated storage area.
 
The 262 XSF measures 26’2” long with a wide beam of 8’10”. This power packed 26’ also contains a 145-gallon fuel tank, which allows anglers to get to the fishing grounds and back with unprecedented range.  The technologically-designed hull combined with the bow flare assures a very dry and exceptionally smooth ride when slicing through rough seas.
 
This is a serious fishing vessel. The 262 features a 27-gallon aerated bait well mounted aft, a 246 quart insulated fish box with diaphragm pump located in the bow, a 60-gallon port fish box and a bait prep station complete with fresh water sink and tackle storage. There are four stainless steel flush mount rod holders, rocket launchers mounted behind the optional helm leaning post backrest and t-top and plenty of additional rod storage under the gunwale.

Other standard features on the 262 XSF include cockpit courtesy lights, integrated swim platform, wave gate with fold-away stern seat, a JBL AM/FM stereo with iPod capability and a completely private head with a locking door. Optional features include outriggers, a 6-disk CD changer, Sirius Satellite Radio upgrade and a 55-gallon leaning post bait well.
 
Scout builds sportfishing, fish ‘n ski, walk around, flats and bay boat models ranging from 14’ to 29’, and will be debuting its largest model to date in model year 2008: the 350 Abaco. 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.
