2019 Scout 255 Dorado

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Scout used every inch of this hull wisely. Deep, secure freeboard keeps crew comfortable when the chop picks up, and the wide beam adds an extra sense of stability at rest. Up front, the wraparound seating with bolsters invites long, lazy cruises, while the walkthrough windshield keeps the breeze under control on cooler mornings. Storage is everywhere—under seats, in the sole, and in clever side compartments—so rods, tow toys, and safety gear all have a proper home. High-end upholstery, polished stainless hardware, and rich helm finishes give the boat a premium, yachtlike feel that sets it apart from typical family fish boats.

Waters here demand a boat that can pivot from early-morning trolling runs to afternoon sandbar hopping, and the 255 Dorado is built for exactly that rhythm. The dual-console layout gives passengers a protected ride when afternoon winds kick up, while the generous bow seating is perfect for anchoring off a quiet shoreline. Its size is ideal for navigating a mix of open water and tighter creeks or coves, yet it’s still easy to trailer and store. With a capable hull and family-friendly deck plan, this model handles shifting conditions confidently, making it a smart, flexible choice for local anglers and weekend cruisers alike.
