We don’t mean to brag, but every boat in our lineup has both speed and acceleration. Our innovative, specifically designed hulls and top-quality engines make for the very best in fast fishing boats. From our largest boat to our smallest vessel, we create boats that swiftly cruise across the water, giving you a smooth ride with outstanding speed.
DOES SPEED MATTER IN A FISHING BOAT?
It may seem like the answer is no. After all, why does it matter if you have a fast boat if you are slowly cruising around your fishing spot, casting to every rock, weed, and downed tree? Even with offshore fishing, you’re usually sitting idle with baits in the water, so speed isn’t a factor.
But ask any professional angler, and they’ll tell you that having a fast fishing boat matters. While top speed may not affect the quality of your fishing, fast fishing boats get you to the location faster, meaning you have more time with lines in the water. And more time fishing, in the long run, mean more fish! From northern lakes to tropical offshore waters, a fast boat helps you take advantage of every fishing opportunity.
FAST FISHING BOATS IN THE SCOUT LINEUP
Here are a few examples of the speed you get with a Scout Boat!
420 LXF
Out largest boat, the 420 LXF, is big enough to carry a large group. It has a 42-foot length, a 500-gallon fuel capacity, and 69-gallon freshwater tank. Despite the size, it can reach over 70 miles per hour!
When equipped with quad Mercury 400s motors, this boat can reach a top speed of 71 miles per hour when cruising at the top RPMs. However, when it reaches the best cruise MPG, which is 4,500 RPMs, it still travels at a pace of 43 miles per hour. When you need to reach an offshore fishing spot in a hurry, the 420 LXF will get you there!
350 LXF
If equipped with triple Mercury 350s engines, the 350 LXF can reach a top speed of 69.8 miles per hour. For optimal cruising MPG, you can run the engines at 4,000 RPMs, which means you’ll be flying along at 41.5 mile per hour.
255 LXF
Even the smaller boats, which are equipped with one motor, give you plenty of speed. When a Evinrude 300 motor is mounted to the 255 LXF, you have a top speed of 52 miles per hour and the best cruising MPG still lets you travel at 29 mph.
175 Sportfish
This is the smallest boat in our lineup, yet it can absolutely fly across the water without sacrificing comfort and ride quality. At the top RMP with a Mercury 115, the 175 Sportfish has a speed of 43.6 miles per hour. With the best cruise RPM, the boat maintains a speed of 25.3 mph.
