Behind the Build: Scout 670 LXS

Building the largest outboard-powered yacht ever.

Currently being constructed at Scout Boats in Summerville, SC, this 67-footer will be powered by five 600-horsepower Mercurys, making her the largest outboard-powered yacht ever. With three staterooms, a lower salon and a full-sized galley, she should also be incredibly comfortable. Before her deck is lowered onto her stepped hull, step aboard for a mid-build walkthrough.

A couple sits relaxing on the spacious aft sunpad deck outside the enclosed main cabin, which features dark tinted windows and black radar domes on the roof. The yacht's modern design includes a fold-down bulwark terrace extended on the starboard side just above the waterline, set against a bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds.

A decade after Invictus came onto the global scene, the Italian boatbuilder is really hitting its stride.

An aerial, high-angle shot of a light-blue and white Pursuit DC 286 dual-console sports boat cruising fast through dark blue choppy waters. The boat features an open bow seating area, a white hardtop with a radar dome, and twin white Yamaha outboard motors producing a heavy white wake. Long black outrigger poles extend backward from the hardtop canopy, framing the fishing-equipped boat as it cuts through the open ocean.

The builder’s newest dual console should be atop your five-gallon bucket list.

The three-deck flybridge vessel carves a sharp turn, generating a dramatic white spray and wake along its starboard side. The massive upper flybridge features extensive beige outdoor sofa seating under a white hardtop bimini roof with black support arches and radar equipment. Below, the teak aft deck cockpit shows a dining table setup, and large dark-tinted glass windows line the main salon deck.
