2026 Scout 188 Sportfish

The 2026 Scout 188 Sportfish is an 18-foot center console built on Scout's Air Assist Hull design, which promotes early plane and stability while minimizing the horsepower needed to achieve strong performance. Powered by a single Yamaha 115 hp engine, the boat delivers efficiency and capability for coastal fishing and recreational boating.

The layout includes a console with a forward-facing lounge seat positioned above a large storage compartment and fish box, plus seating throughout the boat that accommodates six people. The design balances comfort and practicality for both day trips and longer outings.

This example is equipped with an Alpine Gray hull finish and a comprehensive sport package that includes an aluminum bimini top, bow cushion with bolster, Garmin 943xs chartplotter, Bay Star hydraulic steering, Fusion Bluetooth stereo, and Dometic trim tabs with LED indicator lights. These options add refinement and usability across the helm and cabin areas.
