2017 Scout 275 LxfSold

Step aboard and you’ll see why owners love this 27-foot platform for full days on the water. The wide beam translates into a surprisingly stable, dry ride, and the deep seating makes it easy for family and guests to settle in and stay comfortable. Scout’s fit and finish really stand out here: polished hardware, thoughtful storage, and a helm layout that keeps everything within easy reach. The walk-through transom and generous swim platform make swimming and snorkeling a breeze, and there’s enough shade and forward seating to turn the bow into a true lounging zone between runs. It’s a boat that feels bigger than its footprint, without giving up agility.

This size and style is ideal for local waters where conditions can shift from flat calm to choppy in a single afternoon. The 275 Lxf’s sharp entry and solid hull soak up the afternoon chop, while the twin outboards give you the speed to hop between sandbars, reefs, and waterfront restaurants without feeling pushed. Its draft is shallow enough for exploring tucked-away coves, yet it remains confident offshore for nearshore fishing or cruising. Generous seating and smart livewell and rod storage options mean you can easily switch from family cruise mode to serious fishing duty in the same day, all without needing a larger, harder-to-manage boat.
