2002 Scout 280 SPORTFISH

2002 Scout 280 Sportfish with 2017 Yamaha 300s and a trailer

The Scout 280 Sportfish has long been known as a capable offshore fishing platform with a comfortable layout for family cruising, and this 2002 model is a great opportunity for someone looking to get into a proven center console without the price tag of a newer boat.

Power comes from twin 2017 Yamaha F300 four-stroke outboards with approximately 980 hours. The newer engines provide a significant upgrade over the original power and deliver strong performance, reliability, and excellent parts availability. This is a great running boat and very efficient at cruise speeds. 

Designed with the serious angler in mind, the 280 Sportfish offers a spacious cockpit, large fish boxes, plenty of rod storage, a livewell, tackle storage, and a roomy helm with seating for captain and passengers. The forward seating and enclosed console with a marine head also make it a comfortable boat for sandbar trips and family outings.

This boat has been used and enjoyed over the years and shows typical cosmetic wear consistent with its age. It presents as a solid, functional boat that offers tremendous value for someone who plans to spend more time on the water than at the dock. If you've been searching for an offshore-capable center console with updated power at an attractive price point, this Scout 280 Sportfish deserves a look.
