If you live near open water, but don’t want the size of a large offshore fishing boat, a bay boat is one of your best options. These crafts are built specifically for bay and nearshore fishing. While they can handle offshore waters on a calm day, they are best in moderate waters, usually within sight of land. Scout is proud to offer two center console bay boats that set the standard for the class.
ADD VERSATILITY & COMFORT TO YOUR ADVENTURES
Center console bay boats have a shallower “v” in their hull, allowing the boat to maintain shorter drafts. This helps the boat cruise over shallow waters without damaging the hull. For anglers who want to reach shallow destinations, a shallow draft is a good feature.
With a center console, bay boats become one of the finest fishing vessels on the water. When equipped with the right engine, they can reach far-off destinations quickly.
251 XS
This is one of the most innovative and impressive boats you can find on the water. It’s the industry’s first inshore/offshore fishing craft, offering the perfect balance of nimble handling and smooth cruising. When it comes to bay boats, few vessels can match the refinement and sophisticated design of the 251 XS.
Inside this impressive bay boat, you’ll have a wide variety of standard features. Standard technology like the Sea Star hydraulic steering and Fushion Bluetooth stereo create a wonderful boating experience. Comfort features and luxurious console seating for ten people make this a great boat for a day on the water.
You can also upgrade the 251 XS to include the finest technologies and features available in the boating industry. Whether you choose the Shark Grey hull, a high performance leaning post, or the port aerated livewell, you can choose all of the features to customize the craft to your exact preferences.
231 XS
The 231 XS is fully capable of giving you the right performance while boating through the bay. This is our second model in the XS lineup. It was created to deliver the best bay boat performance in its class. It’s also an elite fishing boat, allowing you to target a wide range of inshore or offshore species. When equipped with the right engine, this boat can reach 60 miles an hour on the water.
With a 100% hand-laid fiberglass construction, the advanced hull on the 231 XS is built for optimal bay performance. It comes standard with a 10” jackplate, an aerated baitwell leaning post, and a vertical console rod rack.
Like all vessels from Scout Boats, you can customize it with features to fit your needs. You can add upgraded cushion upholstery or hull color, a tournament leaning post, bow casting extension, fresh water wash down, and more.
