Scout Boats - The Scout 530 LXF S-Class Scout Boats Luxury Sportfishing Flagship
This “mega center console” addition crowns our popular LXF model line. (Our LXF Collection is comprised of luxury sportfish models that showcase a unique blending of high-performance fish boats with high-end cruisers. The cross between these two popular recreational marine mainstays allows one to enjoy amenities on this collection normally only found on much larger sportfishers). The 530 LXF is the eighth and most impressive model in this category to date.
The 530 is built on our epoxy-infused, double-stepped fuel efficient hull w/ Carbon/E-glass process. The Epoxy-infusion process utilizing Carbon/E-glass is utilized on the 530, 425 and 400 LXF models (a process used frequently in the aerospace industry), and provides a Class A finish, with more stability in the hull while reducing the overall weight in the boat - countering the long-term ideology that a larger boat must be heavy to perform. The beam is extended to an even wider 17’ 6” when the electronically-actuated dual beach platforms are engaged port and starboard.
The 530 was in development for two years, as our R&D team researched and shaped every inch of the model into a world class mega center console experience. Standard features on the model include a Seakeeper 6 gyro stabilizer; a unique glass helm enclosure with electronically-sliding windows port and starboard; a smartly-designed cockpit island with a forward-facing bench seat, aft facing bar stools that retract and stow out of the way, and a cooler, sink and cutting board with granite counter top; a Fischer Panda 15kW generator; 16,000 BTU air conditioner/heaters in both the cabin and helm area; an electric sliding sun roof; and heated helm seats and seat backs port and starboard, just to name a few.
Regarding the dynamic leaning post, a customer can also now order an alternate leaning post configuration on their 530 LXF. It reverses the layout and puts the entertainment station facing forward in the console, with the bench seat facing aft in the cockpit. A great choice of layout depending on how you want to best utilize your 530 out on the water.
Timeless styling, sleek aesthetics and technology are three main pillars of the 530. We’ve built a reputation for being first-to-market with innovations throughout our thirty-year history, and the 530 carries the company philosophy forward with perks like our patented bow camera; our optional patented electronically-actuated articulating rocket launchers (that work in unison with the electronically-actuated SureShade integrated retractable aft awning); a Garmin 24” MFD touch screen at the helm, Garmin 12” MFD touch screen in the overhead helm, and Garmin 8617 MFD behind the port mezzanine seat; C-Zone digital switching technology; Fusion stereo head unit with Bluetooth capability and 12 JL Audio speakers, four subwoofers and three amplifiers; twin bow electronically-actuated tables; a transom access doors both port and starboard; and numerous seating options available throughout the boat including a plush bow area, a three-person forward sun lounge with dry box underneath, aft facing stadium seating for three, and helm area seating for seven.
Another area our 530 shines in is the versatile seating options throughout the boat. We designed 21 comfortable seating areas (not including the integrated bar stools) that create a much wider variety of experiences for all ages than any other inshore/offshore vessel in existence. We’ve created an on-the-water entertainment platform where regardless of weather, sea conditions or speeds, the captain and crew can enjoy numerous options to maximize their pleasure on the boat.
The 530 is certainly beautiful top side, but you really get a feel for the time and attention we put into the entire model as you move below deck. We wanted the customer to feel like they were stepping aboard a private jet or walking into a clean, modern luxury home. Below deck the 530 showcases a master stateroom up front with a walk-around queen berth and unique rod storage underneath when the gas shock-assisted frame is raised; an enclosed separate head with door and skylight; and enclosed separate shower room with door and skylight; galley with sink, drawer refrigerator, drawer freezer with internal ice maker, wine chiller and 32” LED TV (there is a second 32” LED TV in the master stateroom); dining table and couch that convert to a single berth; aft double berth; hanging closet; and a central vacuum system. There’s even an overhead saloon skylight with automatic sliding shade, and Garmin MFD touch screen mounted in the salon.
