If you ask about ocean fishing, most people will tell you: you need a large boat, something 35-feet or longer. But thanks to the incredible research and development department at Scout, you can have a small boat and still go fishing on the ocean. So what’s the best small boat for ocean fishing? We have one boat in mind.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GREAT SMALL FISHING BOAT

There are many features and characteristics that make for a great boat, but the best small boat for ocean fishing is both expertly designed and has all the right options. Traditionally, an ocean fishing boat is large, so a small boat contradicts what most people would expect from these vessels. Because smaller boats won’t handle rough waves and ocean chop as easily, the craft needs to be designed with a hull that is made with the most advanced engineering and meticulous attention to detail.

The boat should also have the right fishing features. When you are fishing in the ocean, you’ll need options like a large live well, storage for equipment, and outriggers. These items allow you to fish with precision and convenience, increasing your chances of a successful outing.

Lastly, the boat should have comfort. When you head to the ocean, you’ll likely spend a full day on the water. This means you need comfortable seating, high-quality materials, and the right technology for convenience and luxury. With the right features, you’ll be able to enjoy your small ocean fishing boat for hours and hours, day after day.

And the winner is…

THE SCOUT 255 LXF

While all of our boats are exceptional, our best small boat for ocean fishing just might be the 255 LXF. This craft is loaded with all the features you want in an ocean fishing boat, but it also has a small, manageable profile that lets you cruise through the marina and navigate bay traffic with ease.

Despite the 25.5-foot length, this boat can handle the open ocean. It has a ride performance that makes it a delight to drive, and has plenty of space for a large group and all the storage you need. It has a capacity of 11 people, a fish box that holds 220 quarts, and a nine-gallon freshwater holding tank.

This boat has the features you need for fishing. In addition to the standard features, such as a raw water wash down and bow center storage, it also has optional items like 15-foot outriggers and flush mounted rod holders.

It also has the luxury you desire. The seating is made with top-quality, stain-resistant materials and designed for space and comfort.

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!

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
