Scout Boats, Inc. has come away from the drawing board with another winner with the introduction of the all-new 262 XSF. The 262 XSF is a forward seating model, derived from the company’s popular 262 Sportfish, and delivers the ultimate in sportfishing action and performance without sacrificing comfort or style.

This new forward seating model, a first for Scout Boats, offers two removable forward seat backs that can be stowed away easily in a dedicated storage area.

The 262 XSF measures 26’2” long with a wide beam of 8’10”. This power packed 26’ also contains a 145-gallon boat fuel tank, which allows anglers to get to the fishing grounds and back with unprecedented range. The technologically-designed hull combined with the bow flare assures a very dry and exceptionally smooth ride when slicing through rough seas.

This is a serious fishing vessel. The 262 features a 27-gallon aerated bait well mounted aft, a 246 quart insulated fish box with diaphragm pump for boat located in the bow, a 60-gallon port fish box and a bait prep station complete with fresh water sink and tackle storage. There are four stainless steel flush mount boat rod holders, rocket launchers mounted behind the optional helm leaning post backrest and t-top and plenty of additional rod storage under the gunwale.
