2008 Scout 242 Dorado

The 2008 Scout 242 Dorado is a dual-console boat built for versatility—equally at home as a fishing platform or recreational family cruiser. At 24 feet long with an 8.5-foot beam, the design balances stability with usable space. A single Honda 225-horsepower four-stroke engine powers the boat, which has 655 hours on the engine.

The layout prioritizes both comfort and function. The console area features cushioned, adjustable captain's chairs and accommodates a marine head option on the port side. An oversized walk-through windshield provides safe foredeck access, where the bow is fully cushioned for seating. Below deck, a fold-out entertainment table with cup holders and integrated cooler sits in the bow storage area. The boat includes multiple storage compartments—in-floor storage, a dedicated tackle and rigging station, and rod storage along the port gunnel with stainless steel rod holders fitted as standard.

Fishing-focused features come standard: port and starboard transom platforms with boarding ladders and Scout's removable stern seat with wavegate, designed for landing fish or accessing the water for swimming and diving. The boat is outfitted with a Garmin GPS/chartplotter, ICOM VHF radio, and AM/FM stereo with Sirius capability. Additional equipment includes a bimini top, livewell, bow table, cockpit speakers, and an anchor. A stainless steel rub rail and flush-mounted bow, stern, and spring line cleats in stainless steel complete the hardware.
