PACK YOUR SUITS AND READY YOUR RODS, BECAUSE THIS LUXURY FISHING AND ENTERTAINMENT VESSEL FROM SCOUT BOATS IS THE AQUATIC ESCAPE YOU’VE BEEN DREAMING OF!

BY MATTHEW MIZRACH

Now one of the most respected and sought-after brands in the industry, Scout Boats, like many modern success stories, has a humble origin tale. It started as a passion project in 1989 with one man setting a modest goal to simply “build a better boat,” a feat he attempted to achieve tinkering away in a small brick shack that would later be demolished in the wake of Hurricane Hugo. For more than three decades, Scout has maintained that same drive and ambition to be the absolute best while always staying true to its familial roots.

The 330 LXF is a testament not only to Scout’s design prowess, but its evolution as a manufacturer. This exceptional fishing and entertainment vessel is a member of the brand’s S-Class, denoting the uppermost echelon of its luxury lineup, which employs cutting-edge Epoxy Infusion Construction and Scout Stepped Hull Technology. Coming in at nearly 33 feet, the standard version can reach a maximum 900-hp (though the recommended cruising horsepower is 600), affording the hungry vessel the best strength-to-weight ratio in its class. A fusion Bluetooth stereo system with six JL speakers keeps the party going, and ample storage space throughout the deck and hull makes for smooth sailing. A “better boat” indeed.
