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.
