Scout 188 Sportfish for sale in Florida

Compact.Surprisingly complete.

2027 model · XSF & Sportfish series · Compact center console

Scout says the 188 Sportfish sets a new standard in compact coastal fishing, with features not usually found on boats under 20 feet. Its Scout Air Assist Hull is designed for early planing, stability and lower horsepower needs, while still performing. A console lounge seat has a large storage and fish box beneath it, and the cockpit seats six. It is the smallest Sportfish we list, and a natural fit for owners who trailer and want a capable first or second boat.
