Two-Person Fishing Boats from Scout Boats

215 xsf

Sometimes the best number for fishing is two. Fishing with three or more people can be a hassle. Someone will be late, the fishing can get crowded, and people will endlessly debate the best spots and the best tactics. It becomes an exercise in crowd management, not a focused fishing adventure. On the other hand, fishing solo can get boring and lonely. Sometimes it’s nice to debate fishing strategies with a fellow angler. Two-person fishing, however, seems to be the magic crew. It’s one of the most efficient and enjoyable ways to hit the water, and Scout has a great selection of two-person fishing boats that are perfect for these excursions.

215 XSF

Built using the revolutionary NuV3 hull, the 215 XSF can cut through waves while delivering a smooth ride. It can carry up to nine people. But don’t be mistaken—it makes an excellent two-person fishing boat as well.

This craft has a large lounge area up front that can be used as a great casting deck. It has features like a live well with raw wash down and four S.S. flush-mount rod holders. With a sleek hull, this boat can help you and your fishing partner reach the right destination quickly.

195 Sportfish

This boat comes standard with many top-notch features, but you can also upgrade it with enhancements like a recirculating leaning post live well or a troll motor plug with two battery trays.

177 Sportfish

The 177 Sportfish is one of the most impressive two-man fishing boats you can find. It is ideal for both inshore and offshore fishing and has lots of standard features that would be either optional or completely unavailable with other manufacturers. It also has a flared bow, which is perfect for deflecting sprays, even in a smaller boat.

With three vertical rod holders, a 20-gallon fuel tank, and a trolling motor plug, this boat has everything you need for your small-scale fishing adventures.

Scout Center Console Bay Boats

Bay Boats

Bay Boats

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

251 XSS
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

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.

Scout’s Best Small Fishing Boats

195 sportfish

It’s easy to assume that all great fishing boats are large. Chasing big offshore trophies like sailfish and marlin certainly calls for a big boat, but some of the best fishing happens in shallow waters, which requires a much smaller, lighter craft. While we are proud to offer large boats like the 420 LXF, we also excel in creating smaller boats. Here are some of our best small fishing boats that provide exceptional comfort, versatility, and mobility.

195 Sportfish

195 sportfish
The 195 Sportfish is a 19-foot luxury fishing boat that has all the convenience and utility you desire. The small profile makes it perfect for nearshore and lake fishing while still having room for up to seven people. With space for a larger group compared to smaller 17-foot models, the 195 Sportfish is popular as a luxury boat for pleasure cruising on a relaxing weekend. It has all the popular fishing features, including rod storage and a large live well.

177 Sportfish

177 sportfish
The 177 Sportfish is an elite fishing craft that can help you reach the most remote fishing destinations. With a draft of only 10 inches, you can cruise through water with less than a foot of depth. This allows you to target intertidal areas where some of the most active fishing occurs. If you are looking to target shallow-water species like the bonefish, the 177 Sportfish is a great choice. And with the large casting deck at the front, this craft is definitely one of our best small fishing boats.

177 Sport

177 sport
From relaxing cruises to intense fishing, the 177 Sport will meet your needs. This center console boat has comfortable seating and enough room for five people. It’s perfect for rivers, lakes, nearshore, and intertidal fishing, and it has a sleek hull with a draft of only 10 inches. Best of all, it can be loaded with fishing features like push pole holders, flush-mount rod holders, and a poling platform.

175 Sport Dorado

175 Sport Dorado
The 175 Sport Dorado is an elite dual console boat that provides family-friendly boating and top-quality fishing. The deck has seating for six people, yet the front makes for a perfect casting deck. It can reach shallow fishing destinations and provide world-class performance in choppy water. With a dual console layout, it also has plenty of storage, which makes the craft ideal for families.

175 Sportfish

175 sportfish
When it comes to nimble fishing, few boats will match the performance and versatility of the 175 Sportfsh. This craft has all the features you expect from one of our best small fishing boats, including an aerated live well and four flush-mount rod holders. It can be updated with more fishing features, but what makes this boat truly exceptional is the hull, which can cut through chop with ease, even with a 10-inch draft.

Buying A Fishing Boat [Guide]

380 LXF

380 LXF

Are you looking to buy a new fishing boat? Whether you are purchasing your first boat or you want more room and more power, you need to take your time and make the right choice. There are many options and styles to think about. This guide to buying a fishing boat can help you purchase a craft that will make you happy for years!

DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE SIZE

When buying a fishing boat, a large part of your decision will involve selecting the right size for your needs. With size alone, there are many factors to consider, including the waters you will be enjoying. If you will be boating on smaller lakes, rivers, and occasional bays, then you won’t need a larger boat. However, if you plan on boating in open ocean or large inland waters such as the Great Lakes, then you will need a large vessel to handle the larger waves.

You will also need to consider the group size. If you will be taking your entire family and a large group of friends on a fishing trip, then you will need enough space for everyone. If you will go fishing by yourself, then a smaller boat will do.

CHOOSE THE DECK LAYOUT TYPE

There are two common deck layouts for most fishing boats: center console and dual console. Center console generally has more space on the deck for casting and reeling in fish, so it is often the preferred choice for serious anglers, especially saltwater anglers.

However, dual console boats have their advantages as well. They often have more storage and more seating, making them a good choice for casual anglers who also want to enjoy leisurely boating and pleasure cruising.

CHECK THE BOAT AND VERIFY FISHING FEATURES

Before you buy a fishing boat, make sure you research all the available fishing features. This includes connections for a trolling motor, a large live well, rod storage, and tackle storage. If you will be doing lots of fishing, make sure your boat is built to deliver convenience and accessibility to all of your fishing tools.

RESEARCH THE BOAT AND MOTOR WARRANTIES

Different boats will have different warranties. Before buying a fishing boat, take the time to thoroughly read about all of the available warranties. A good boat manufacturer will provide a strong warranty that gives you peace of mind when you purchase, and will cover many of the large components of the boat, including the hull’s structural integrity.

In most cases, the motor will have a separate warranty, so do your research on this warranty as well to understand what will be covered and what will not be covered.

TALK WITH A TRUSTED DEALER

You can take this step at any point in the boat-buying process. A trusted dealer will provide the information you need to make an informed, confident decision on your boat purchase. If you ever have any questions, be sure to talk with one of our top-notch dealers. No matter where you live, you can get the information you need on your next fishing boat!

Sport Fishing Boat Manufacturer: Scout Boats

Boat Manufacturer

Boat Manufacturer

Becoming a leader in the boating industry doesn’t happen by accident. As you’ll see from Scout’s history, as well as some of our top sport fishing boats, it takes dedication, resiliency, and precision to reach the top. Here’s some inside info on what makes us a leading sport fishing boat manufacturer.

OUR HISTORY

Scout was founded by Steve Potts, a boat builder who has a passion for creating the finest crafts possible. The first boat Steve built was a 14-foot fishing boat that he called the Scout. Eventually, this little boat became immensely popular with anglers and gave Steve a reputation in the industry for quality and precision.

Building on the first boat’s success, Scott continued to innovate and eventually developed new designs and larger crafts. His business was becoming a success and he was living the American dream: making a living off of doing what he loved.

In 1989, Hurricane Hugo tested the strength of Scout Boats. Although the operations were leveled by the storm, our boat manufacturing company was able to rebuild and recreate. When operations and infrastructure were rebuilt, the company came out stronger than ever.

Scout Boats eventually started making appearances at boat shows and became a star sport fishing boat manufacturer in the industry. When the economic recession started in 2008, Scout Boats continued to thrive, thanks in no small part to Steve’s leadership. With an unwavering commitment to design, engineering, and craftsmanship, Scout Boats is set to continue success in the future.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CREATING A CUSTOM FISHING BOAT

175 sportfish
There are many factors you should consider when purchasing a new boat. First of all, how many people will you be boating with? If it’s just you and a fishing buddy, then you can get by with a small fishing boat, say a 17-footer. However, if you will be including many of your friends and family, then a larger boat will better suit your needs.

You should also consider where you will be boating (and fishing). If you intend to fish in small lakes and rivers, then a small boat that can navigate narrow channels and shallow areas would be ideal. However, if you will be fishing on the open ocean, then you’ll need something larger to keep you dry and safe.

Finally, consider your activities. Will you be using the boat for fishing only? Will you want to cruise the water? Will you do lots of skiing and water sports as well? Each of these activities requires a unique set of features.

SCOUT’S LUXURY FISHING BOATS: BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER

251 XSS
Fortunately, Scout Boats bring together all the best features to create versatile boats that meet the needs of any modern boat owner.

However, they also have fishing features like live wells and rod holders that make them ideal for anglers. Equipped with powerful engines and built around a meticulously-crafted hull, these boats give you the power and performance you need for water sports like skiing and wake boarding too.

Take the 251 XS as an example. This boat is perfect for both inshore and offshore fishing thanks to an intelligent hull design and sophisticated features. From fishing to pleasure boating, this is the ultimate craft for marine versatility.

Top Bay Boats From Scout Boats

231XS running with naval ship in background

Bay boats are extremely popular all across the country. By providing versatility, reliability, and comfort, bay boats meet the needs of both fresh and saltwater anglers. They are also great for skiing and water sports or simply cruising the water in leisurely style. If you are considering one of these crafts, take a look at the top bay boats from Scout.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT BAY BOAT?

Bay boats are most popular in coastal waters, especially in regions where both deep and shallow-water fishing are available. Because bay boats typically have good length, usually above 21 feet, they provide reliable stability while maintaining shallow drafts of less than two feet. Commonly, the “V” in the hull of a bay boat will not be as sharp or deep. This helps it maintain shallow drafts but still allows it to cut through waves and chop.

Top bay boats are usually used for fishing, so fore and aft casting decks are essential. These should be spacious, and they should give anglers an elevated position and have fewer chances for snagging the line. On larger models, it may be possible for two people to cast from a deck without much of a problem.

To reach specific fishing destinations with ease, a top-quality bay boat will also come with a powerful, efficient engine. Having a jackplate that lifts the engine (not tilts, but lifts vertically) will assist with both propulsion and boating through shallow waters.

251 XS

251 xss
At 25 feet in length, the 251 XS is one of the best bay boats from Scout. It was designed to be a true inshore/offshore craft, utilizing a unique hull design that allows it to maintain a shallow draft with excellent stability and ride comfort. Although it is 25 feet in length and has room for 10 people, it has a draft of 13 inches, meaning you only need a little over a foot of water to cruise in this craft.

The boat can also be equipped with all the features that make for a great bay boat. It comes with features like a ten-inch jackplate, a trolling motor plug, and an aerated live well.

231 XS


The 231 XS is the second bay boat created by Scout in the “XS” lineup. Like the 251, it comes with all the features you need for a fantastic boating and fishing experience in bay areas, but the smaller profile makes it a little more manageable for smaller areas like rivers and backwaters.

With comfortable seating, large fishing decks, and a hull that creates a smooth ride from start to finish, this craft matches all of your bay boating needs.

What Size Boat Do You Need?

177

Are you trying to decide what size boat you need? Start with how you plan to use the craft. Here we’ll take a look at some basic types of boating to help you choose the right size for your needs.

OFFSHORE FISHING BOAT SIZE: 30-FEET AND UP

420 lxf
For off-shore fishing, you want a large, sturdy boat that can handle heavy waves and rough conditions. In a small boat, the larger chop of open waters can toss and turn your vessel. This could create an uncomfortable experience and be dangerous for you and other passengers.

Great Choice for Offshore Fishing: 420 LXF

The 420 LXF is our flagship craft. With an impressive size of 42 feet, it’s one of the best boats you can find for offshore fishing. It has luxury features, fishing accessories, and comfortable deck accommodations that allow you to stay on the water for days at a time.

INSHORE FISHING BOAT SIZE: 17 TO 20 FEET

177
For inshore fishing, you need a boat that is capable of reaching shallow, hard-to-reach locations. You might be fishing intertidal shallows near the Florida Keys or a river delta on the west coast, but having a boat that can cut through tight corners and shallow areas is essential.

Great Choice for Bay Boating: 177 Sport

Few inshore fishing boats can deliver the comfort and versatility of the 177 Sportfish. This center-console boat is perfect for inshore fishing and quick family outings.

BAY BOATING SIZE: 20 TO 30 FEET

231 xs
For bay boating, you need a combination of size and versatility. Many bays can have large, choppy, rough waters, but rarely the type you will see in the open ocean. They also have more obstacles, such as water-way markers, buoys, and other boats. This makes a combination of size and maneuverability essential.

Great Choice for Bay Boating: 231 XS

At 23-feet, the 231 XS is a wise choice for anyone who will do a lot of bay boating. You’ll be able to go out into the open water on calm days, and you’ll still be able to maneuver through a crowded bay with ease.

CRUISING / PLEASURE BOATING SIZE: 20 TO 30 FEET

255
Do you simply want to cruise the water and relax? Then chances are a boat between 20 to 30 feet will suit you just fine. A 17-footer probably won’t give you the leg-stretching comfort you prefer, while 40 feet is likely too much for your needs.

Great Choice for Cruising: 255 Dorado

The 255 Dorado is a great choice for simply cruising and relaxing. It has comfortable lounge seating on both ends and can be enhanced with numerous optional features such as a high-quality stereo, grill, and fiberglass hardtop.

WATER SPORTS BOAT SIZE: 17 TO 25 FEET

210 dorado
For water sports, choose a smaller boat with a powerful engine for pulling skiers and maintaining the right speed. 17 feet will certainly work, but you can go up to 25 feet and still maintain performance.

Great Choice for Water Sports: 210 Dorado

At 21 feet in length, the 210 Dorado gives you plenty of size for comfortable riding and can make turns and maneuvers with ease. Add in the ski tow bar and you have a world-class ski boat that fills in as a luxury fishing craft when needed!

AMERICAN INGENUITY, WORLD-CLASS DESIGNS

We hope this boat size guide helps you find the perfect craft. No matter what type of boating you have planned, start your next adventure with Scout Boats!
