Let the sun shine in: Scout 350 LXZ

Scout 350 LXZ

Nov 3, 2020

Scout Boats’ new luxury crossover series launches with the 350 LXZ, a premium day cruiser. Designed for entertaining and overnighting, the boat comes with a long list of first-in-class amenities including Webasto’s 20 Series sliding electric sunroof as standard equipment. The vessel is slated to debut in early 2021.

With the touch of a button, the large tempered safety glass panel of the 20 Series sunroof quietly slides forward to let in fresh air and sunlight. Stepless locking ensures it stays in place, whether wide open at 31.5″ L x 31.5″ W or tilted for ventilation. Closed, it’s completely waterproof and the grey-tinted pane blocks excessive brightness.

Marrying innovation with functionality, Scout Boats’ 350 LXZ reimagines what a performance luxury crossover should be. Beyond a full glass windshield and sliding side windows, the automotive inspired sunroof adds to the boat’s spacious feeling. Abundant seating, including a luxurious bow area, is cleverly placed to maximize socialization, while retaining flow and walkability. Below deck is a full head compartment and comfortable overnight accommodations.

Scout dealer Rob Rule at Maple City Marine in Chatham, ON is looking forward to the boat but because of COVID, has not yet been aboard. “The boat was scheduled to complete for the Miami show which is not happening. Pricing I think will start in the $500s progressing into the mid $600s but will confirm.

There is already a waiting list for this boat so I think we may not see one until mid summer – I was told in July. We have a buyer so let’s hope.”

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
