2026 Scout 261 XSS

The 2026 Scout 261 XSS is a 26-foot crossover center console built on Scout's stepped hull design. Finished in the Midnight Edition with exposed carbon fiber hardtop legs and upgraded upholstery, the boat combines offshore capability with family-friendly comfort and a modern aesthetic. The wide beam and high freeboard deliver a smooth, efficient ride in open water while remaining manageable for inshore use.

Power comes from a Mercury 400XL V10 Verado with joystick piloting, offering digital controls and effortless maneuvering. The hardtop includes a Lumitec light bar, and the boat is equipped with dual Garmin 1243XSV displays and a Garmin VHF 115 radio for navigation and communication. Stereo options include an upgraded system with SiriusXM radio.

Anchoring is handled by dual Power-Pole Blade 10-foot anchors. The boat features a fiberglass aerated livewell leaning post, underwater lights, raw and freshwater washdowns, and a porcelain head with overboard discharge. Rocket launchers are mounted, and the interior includes a Bianca cushion package with a black Edson steering wheel. This is a fully equipped boat ready for fishing, cruising, and entertaining.
