2025 Scout 261 XSS

The 2025 Scout 261 XSS is a 26-foot bay boat built on a composite hull and powered by a single Mercury 350 Verado V10 engine with power steering. The boat is designed for fishing and recreational use, balancing capability with comfort for days on the water.

The helm features twin Garmin 12-inch displays paired with a Garmin GT12M transducer for fish finding, along with an Edson steering wheel. A deluxe JL Audio system provides entertainment with eight speakers, a 10-inch subwoofer, and two amplifiers. Navigation and control are supported by Mercury power steering and a 10-inch jackplate for engine trim adjustment.

The fishing layout centers on a leaning post equipped with an aerated livewell, tackle storage, a trash receptacle, cutting board, and bottle opener. Fresh and raw water washdown systems are included for rinsing. A porcelain head with diaphragm overboard discharge serves sanitation needs, while a battery charger rounds out the onboard electrical system. Fender Pros protect the hull, and a Zip Wake system is fitted as standard equipment.
