First Look at Scout’s 435 LXF Li-Ion

No genset? No problem on Scout's newest center console.

Scout Boats founder Steve Potts took the stage at Miami to debut the builder’s new 435 LXF Li-Ion. This sleek and very fish-friendly center console will rocket along via four Mercury 425-hp V10’s. She not only offers a comfortable and climate controlled cabin, but her two outside motors are equipped with powerful generators that will dump electrons into a big bank of safe, LifPO4 batteries—enough to run the climate control, Seakeeper and all her systems for six hours—or more depending on how judiciously you use that power. Step aboard for a first look.
