Scout Adds Second Forward Seating Model:
New 245 XSF Sportfish Model

SUMMERVILLE, SC—Scout Boats, Inc. has come away from the drawing board with another stellar design with the introduction of the all-new 245 XSF. The 245 XSF is a forward seating model, derived from the company's popular 242 Sportfish, and delivers the ultimate in sportfishing action and performance without sacrificing comfort or style.

The 245 XSF measures 24'5" long with a wide beam of 8'6". This power packed 24' also contains a 125-gallon fuel tank, which allows anglers to get to the fishing grounds and back with unprecedented range. The technologically-advanced fuel efficient NuV3 hull means tremendous fuel savings for the customer, and 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 245 features insulated port and starboard fish boxes (40 gallons each), an insulated forward cooler (40 quarts) and the forward console seat houses an insulated console cooler (165 quarts). Two bait wells sit port and starboard aft, nine and ten gallons respectively – and there's even room for a large bucket to fit inside the starboard well.

Other standard features on the 245 XSF include four stainless steel flush mount rod holders; under gunwale rod storage; cockpit bolsters; sport leaning post with rod holders; Flexi Teak dual swim platforms; transom wave gate with a fold down stern seat; and hydraulic steering with tilt. Optional features include a leaning post bait well; t-top hardtop with rocket launchers; ski tow; and a six-disk CD changer to compliment the already standard JBL stereo system with iPod jack.

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.
