Welcome Aboard a Highly Customized Scout 670 LXF

Scout Boats spent decades building its reputation on fit and finish, then decided to find out how far the outboard center console concept could stretch. The answer is the 670 LXF, the South Carolina builder's flagship, designed in partnership with superyacht studio Harrison Eidsgaard. The boat in this walkthrough is not a standard build, either. The owner optioned it into something closer to a custom yacht, and we got welcomed aboard to film all of it.

A center console with a flybridge and staterooms

Scout lists the 670 LXF at 66 feet 9 inches overall with a 16-foot 2-inch beam, built in carbon fiber and E-glass to keep weight in check. Power is where the numbers get surreal: four or five Mercury V-12 600 horsepower outboards, up to 3,000 total horsepower, which Scout says is good for a top end around 60 mph and a fast cruise around 40. With 1,500 gallons of fuel aboard, Scout lists range at roughly 500 miles.

Then there is the part no one expects on an outboard boat: a full flybridge upper station for running offshore and spotting fish, three actual staterooms below, and cockpit beach doors that fold out to stretch the usable beam to 19 feet 6 inches by Scout's numbers. It is a sportfishing yacht that happens to wear outboards.

What customization looks like at this level

Scout offers the 670 with curated interior palettes, but the owner of this boat went well beyond picking a color story. The walkthrough covers the custom touches throughout, from the helm and electronics setup to the interior finishes and the entertaining spaces, and shows how much room a 16-foot beam actually buys you inside. If you have only seen the 670 LXF in brochure photos, the video is the closest thing to standing on the teak yourself.

Who runs a boat like this

The 670 LXF is for the owner who wants superyacht presence with outboard logic: shallower draft than a comparable inboard sportfish, simpler maintenance access, and the ability to repower down the road. It suits serious canyon fishermen who bring family along, and Bahamas regulars who want 40-knot cruise and real overnight accommodations in the same hull. It is a short list of boats that do both, and this one arguably started the category.
