The Scout 245 XSF is a forward-seating model adapted from the company's popular 242 Sportfish model. A fuel-efficient hull sporting an exaggerated bow flare gives anglers a dry and smooth ride when slicing through rough seas in route to the fishing grounds. The 245 also features 40-gallon insulated port and starboard fish boxes, as well as a 40-quart insulated forward cooler, and the forward console seat houses a 165-quart insulated console cooler. For live bait enthusiasts, two livewells sit aft to port and starboard and hold nine and 10 gallons, respectively.
