380 LXF

It wasn’t that long ago that a “big” center console measured from 32 or 33 feet. That changed with the advent of modern 4-stroke outboards. As Boating magazine noted a few years ago, “Nothing changed the boat-building industry like the Yamaha’s 350hp V-8 outboard.” Joining the ranks of today’s full-size center consoles in 2019, the Scout 380 LXF combines a full range of fishing features with serious luxury and comfort. Up front, twin forward-facing seats are perfect for lounging, and a pop-up cocktail table converts to bow area into a large sun pad. Portside doors in the console open to a well-finished cabin below with mini-galley, enclosed head and shower, and a queen berth forward. The 380’s triple helm seat faces a digital dash with a suite of Garmin video displays. In the cockpit, the aft-facing mezzanine seat folds away to reveal an entertainment/bait prep station complete with hidden sink, cutting board, grill, tackle drawer and storage. A 100-gallon livewell and folding bench seat are built into the transom. Overhead, a retractable sun shade deploys from the hardtop to shade most of the cockpit. A Seakeeper 3 gyro stabilizer is standard. Triple 350 Verados reach a top speed of 50 knots.
