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 side profile shot of a modern, white Sunseeker 82 Ocean luxury motor yacht cruising at speed across open water. The vessel features striking black-tinted window bands along its multi-deck hull and a black hardtop structure over its upper deck flybridge. It kicks up a substantial white spray and wake as it glides under a soft pink, purple, and gold sunset sky, with a British Red Ensign flag flying from the stern.

It may be a cliché, but the second hull in the British builder’s acclaimed Ocean line is a small superyacht with more social spaces than you can count.

Two men are on board, with the driver at the helm station beneath a black T-top canopy. The boat features tan upholstered seating, including an open bow lounge area and a rear-facing cockpit bench. The aft deck is finished with a light brown faux-teak swim platform extension flanking twin black outboard engines.

A scrappy start-up in South Carolina set out to build an electric boat that—they hope—can go the distance.

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.
