The 2026 Scout 288 LXF is a 28.75-foot center console sportfisher built on a composite hull and powered by twin Yamaha F300XSB outboard engines producing 600 horsepower combined. The boat reaches speeds up to 50 knots and cruises efficiently at 27 knots. A standout feature is the integrated carbon fiber T-top frame, which provides both lightweight structural strength and a refined aesthetic. The hardtop includes fully enclosed windshields, spreader lights, and an integrated helm switch panel for protection and visibility.
The cockpit is engineered for serious fishing, with a spacious layout that includes an aerated baitwell, in-floor fish boxes, and dedicated tackle storage. The helm station features premium seating and an integrated fiberglass leaning post with a bait prep station, sink, and tackle drawers. A YETI cooler is built into the console, and a Fusion/JL Audio sound system provides entertainment. Twin Garmin 1243XSV displays, a Garmin GMR 24 XHD radar dome, Garmin VHF 315 radio, and a Sionyx Nightwave night vision camera support navigation and fishing operations. Helm Master EX joystick control with autopilot enables precise maneuvering.
The boat includes a fully enclosed head with an electric porcelain toilet, vanity with sink, mirror, accent lighting, and skylight for extended time on the water. Additional equipment includes a removable teak bow table, side boarding ladder, hardtop-mounted rocket launchers, Lumitec light bar, windshield wipers, and a black Edson steering wheel. The hull features a black color with a Scout White accent stripe. Joystick control simplifies docking and close-quarters handling.
