Scout 288 Dorado

For 37 years, Scout has made its mark in the 17- to 67-foot market with exciting center and dual console, and inshore bay/boat models.

With the introduction of the new 288 Dorado, she takes her place as the current flagship of the dual console Dorado lineup. Easily transitioning from a coastal fishing vessel into a family-oriented boat, she has been designed and engineered to optimize time on the water.

“Scout models are known for their 100% hand-laid construction, head-turning designs, superior fit and finish, best strength-to-weight ratio in their classes, fuel-efficient hull designs, and completely finished bilges, lids, doors and hatches,” says Scout Director of Sales & Marketing Alan Lang. “This new model introduction is no exception.”

The Scout 288 Dorado arrives equipped for entertaining, cruising and fishing alike. At the helm is an electronically controlled convertible seat, while a custom fiberglass hardtop with integrated LED lighting extends fun well into the evening hours. A standard cockpit sink and optional refrigerator, grill and inverter system make onboard dining easy, while an electric head and fold-out aft seating add convenience for family outings. Practical touches such as dual transom walk-through doors, a generous swim platform, power steering and a bow anchor camera enhance everyday usability. Owners looking to personalize their boat can choose from a wide range of options, including upgraded Garmin electronics, radar, FLIR night-vision cameras, underwater lights, a SEABOB water toy and more. The result is a versatile dual-console that can be tailored to fit virtually any boating lifestyle.

“Each Scout hull is a true original, as the in-house research and design team works closely with engineering to take concepts from blueprint to production more efficiently, growing the company’s world-class reputation for quality, strength, durability and value,” Lang adds.
