Scout’s new 357 LXF S-Class maximizes performance, luxury, styling and fishability. It offers outstanding efficiency thanks to its epoxy-infused, double-stepped hull construction that minimizes weight while maintaining high strength and a flawless finish.
The 357 LXF falls within Scout’s S-Class category reserved for luxury models 33 feet and up in length. The designation signifies the upper echelon of the Scout lineup, with luxury akin to high-end automobiles.
Standard features aboard the Scout 357 LXF include a fully walkable swim platform with a starboard-side transom door and Esthec decking, an Armstrong swim-platform ladder, a 47-gallon transom livewell, a 60-gallon transom fish box, a cockpit portside door, and raw- and freshwater washdown systems.
The 357 LXF offers abundant standard equipment and conveniences, such as a 50-amp onboard battery charger, remote-controlled lighting with a key fob, three captain’s helm chairs with heated seats and individual flip-up bolsters, an anchor camera in the bow, and an aft-facing bench seat that converts into a raised prep table.
Posh forward seating includes a lounger for two on the forward console as well as wraparound seating/loungers in the bow, with an electrically actuated bow table that can retract flush with the seats to accommodate an upholstered filler cushion to create a spacious sun lounger.
Optional upgrades on the 357 LXF include a Seakeeper 3 DC gyrostabilizer, with versions that include a solar panel on the hardtop, as well as an additional 50-amp charger and two additional batteries.
Anglers and cruising enthusiasts alike will love the retractable rocket launchers that allow for deploying an electric fiberglass cockpit sunshade. Air conditioning for the cabin and helm keeps the crew comfy on sultry days, and windshield wipers help maintain forward visibility when the rain falls. A wireless charger ensures that mobile phones are at the ready.
