When most people think of saltwater fishing, they often think of center console boats. These crafts certainly have their advantages, but if you’re really looking for something spacious, relaxing, and comfortable fishing boats, you should give serious consideration to the dual console lineup from Scout. These boats have excellent versatility, allowing you to cruise the water in relaxing comfort while still taking advantage of outstanding fishing potential. They also have excellent storage, usually providing more covered storage than center console models of the same size. Let’s take a closer look at a few of our best dual console fishing boats.

275 Dorado

The 275 Dorado is perhaps one of our best dual console fishing boats—and it’s not just the size that makes this craft a standout. Measuring over 27 feet in length, the 275 Dorado has space for a large family, and it keeps everyone comfortable with plush seating from front to back. It also has a spacious hull with a completely private head, making your offshore outings more enjoyable for everyone. If you love fishing, the 275 Dorado delivers with a large cockpit fishing area, a 25-gallon bait well, port and starboard fish boxes, and plenty of rod and tackle storage.

225 Dorado

Combining family-friendly comfort with elite fishing features, the 225 Dorado gives you everything you want from a dual console boat.

The 175 Sport Dorado was made for elite fishing adventures in intertidal regions, shallow bays, and nearshore fishing holes, but it also has the comfort and relaxing layout you expect from a high quality craft.

Despite the smaller size, it has room for six people. However, the boat also has fishing features like flush-mounted rod holders, an aerated livewell, and a spacious front deck to create a fantastic fishing experience.

Scout wants to help you have a wonderful boating experience. That’s why we allow you to take any of our models and build a custom sport fishing boat to match your exact needs. But with so many options, how can you choose the right features? It all depends on how you plan to use the boat. Here are a few quick suggestions to help you get started.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR BOAT WITH THE BUILD YOUR SCOUT FEATURE

With the Build Your Scout feature, you can create a boat that is built to your specific needs. Starting with the base model, you can then select engine options, colors, and optional equipment. Depending on the model you have selected, you will find dozens of different choices, allowing you to enjoy a custom sport fishing boat that perfectly matches your needs.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Let’s say you choose the 225 XSF. With this boat, you can choose from eight different engine options, five different color options, and then move to the optional equipment, which includes two choices for helm seating and five options for top covers. Simply check the boxes next to the features you want on your boat.

Some boats have even more options. The 420 LXF, for example, has 18 different miscellaneous options, including a security system, Pro Drive technology, a Kenyon grill and more.

CUSTOM FEATURES FOR FISHING

There are many features you can add to make a custom sport fishing boat that meets your needs. On larger boats, such as the 420 LXF, a marine fighting chair is one of the top fishing features. This chair helps you fight large, strong fish such as tuna or blue marlin.

Other features that enhance fishing include extra rod holders, push-pole holders, added live wells, and a fish ice box, which pours ice directly into a standard fish box. You can also choose an onboard grill for some models, which lets you cook your catch without ever leaving the water!

CUSTOM FEATURES FOR SKIING

Water skiing is one of the most enjoyable activities for families of all sizes. It’s also great for groups of friends who want to enjoy the water with more thrills and excitement. While Scout focuses on luxury fishing boats, nearly all of our crafts can be turned into world-class ski boats as well.

One of the top features you’ll want is a ski tow bar. This feature raises the rope connection on the boat and helps keep the rope out of the water. It also creates a more even, level pull for the skier. Another feature you’ll want to look into is added horsepower for your engines. To have the best skiing experience, a boat with faster acceleration is preferred.

CUSTOM FEATURES FOR PLEASURE BOATING

If you just want to cruise the water and enjoy a beautiful day on the sea, then Scout has boats that will keep you happy for years, as well as features that enhance the simple delight of cruising on clean, blue waters. There’s no reason you can’t use your custom sport fishing boat to relax out on the water.

Features like additional speakers or back-to-back lounge seats increase the fun and relaxation while cruising through your favorite bay, while LED lights and enhanced electronics increase your overall enjoyment. You can even find optional items like a removable teak bow table and even televisions, depending on the model you select.
