Scout 670 LXS Price, Specs and Review of the Largest Outboard Yacht

Scout 670 LXS price in context

The Scout 670 LXS price is the first thing most people ask about, so start there. Boating magazine lists the boat at $6.8 million, and Scout's own online configurator shows a 2027 model-year base price of about $6.36 million before freight, prep and tax. For context, that is roughly the price of a new 70-foot flybridge motor yacht with twin diesels, or three well-equipped 45-foot center consoles.

What does the money buy? The world's largest outboard-powered recreational boat when it debuted at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in 2025, a 66-foot 9-inch hull carrying 3,000 hp of Mercury Verado V12 outboards, three staterooms, a superyacht-designed interior and exterior, and a deck that can switch from tournament cockpit to beach club in a few minutes. Scout calls it the first of its 67 LX Series, offered as the 670 LXS (Luxury Sport) and the 670 LXF (Luxury Fish) with a flybridge.

Founded in 1989 by Steve Potts in Summerville, South Carolina, Scout has built a reputation for luxurious center consoles and crossovers from 17 feet upward. The 670 is the company's boldest step by a wide margin, a project internally nicknamed Project Everest.

Superyacht styling from Harrison Eidsgaard

Scout partnered with the London studio Harrison Eidsgaard, known for large custom superyachts, on both the exterior and interior. The result keeps Scout's flared bow and the signature aft leg that flows into the hardtop pods, but adds a swept-back windshield, shallow side windows and a long, low hardtop that make the boat look leaner than its size suggests.

The clever pieces are functional. Hydraulic beach platforms fold down on each side of the cockpit, stretching the effective beam from 16 feet 2 inches to about 19 feet 6 inches at anchor. Retractable port, starboard and aft windows, a retractable sunroof and articulating rocket launchers with an integrated SureShade let the owner tune the boat for sun, shade or breeze.

Five V12s on the transom and what they deliver

Standard power is five Mercury Verado V12 600 outboards, 3,000 hp in total, with a four-engine option. Only the lower gearcase on the V12 Verado steers, so the engines can be mounted on tight centers, and single-tube digital rigging keeps the transom clean. Joystick control, Skyhook GPS station keeping, and bow and stern thrusters make the boat surprisingly easy to handle at the dock for its size.

Scout quotes a top speed of approximately 60 mph, a fast cruise of about 40 mph and a range of roughly 500 miles from 1,500 gallons of gasoline. Boating's instrumented test, with 1,000 gallons of fuel aboard, recorded 51.7 knots (59.6 mph) at 6,400 rpm burning 260 gph, and a most economical cruise of 38.9 knots (44.8 mph) at 5,000 rpm on 150 gph, good for about 350 nautical miles. It planed in under 11 seconds. Boating also noted that three engines alone cruise the boat at about 32 mph and four at about 45 mph. In a separate sea trial on Sarasota Bay, Registry Tampa Bay saw 50 knots in under a minute and 60 mph flat out. Testers described it carving hard turns at 57 mph and taking its own three-foot wake without drama, and found the V12s remarkably quiet from the helm.

Scout itself has not published a detailed fuel curve, but Boating's numbers show what to expect: well over 100 gph at any planing speed, which is why the boat carries 1,500 gallons. A Kohler 24 kW diesel generator and a Seakeeper 14 gyro live under the cockpit, alongside a spacious workroom.

• Power: 5 x Mercury Verado V12 600 (4 x 600 optional), 3,000 hp maximum
• Builder figures: about 60 mph top, 40 mph fast cruise, 500 statute mile range; Boating measured 51.7 knots top and 38.9 knots at 150 gph
• Fuel 1,500 gallons of gasoline, 118 gallons water, displacement about 30,000 pounds
• Draft about 41 inches; can reach water just over three feet deep with engines tilted

Three staterooms below the console

Below decks the 670 LXS offers three staterooms and three interior color options. The master sits in the bow with a wider-than-queen berth and an en suite head with a 30 by 40 inch shower. A guest cabin with a double berth sits to one side and a twin-berth cabin on the other, separated by a lounge with a sofa, television and a compact galley and breakfast bar.

The guest double also has access to a day head with a 36-inch-wide shower, so there are two heads in all, with electric-flush toilets and vessel sinks. On the main deck, a salon behind the helm adds an L-shaped galley with induction cooktop, convection oven and drawer fridge. Scout says the boat overnights six or more. Testers suspect many owners will use the accommodations more for naps, showers, movie time and air-conditioned breaks than for weeks aboard, and that is a fair reading of how super console owners actually live.

Fishing cockpit, aft bar and family spaces

The LXS is the sport version, but it still fishes. A mezzanine overlooks the cockpit with air conditioning vents to keep rod watchers cool, and the teak-decked cockpit has room for serious deep-sea work or for kids diving off the fold-down platforms. Owners who prioritize fishing should look at the 670 LXF, which adds a flybridge for spotting.

For entertaining, the aft deck includes a bar with a pass-through and three stools plus a lounging and dining area aft. Under the hardtop, a covered, air-conditioned dining area sits just forward of the cockpit. The bow has a large sun pad with tilt-up backrests and a U-shaped sofa for six, reached by wide, deep walkways.

The glass dash spreads across both helm consoles so a co-captain can monitor systems while the skipper drives, a sensible touch on a boat with this many engines and systems.

Who buys a 670 LXS and what it costs to run

The typical buyer already owns, or has owned, a large convertible or motor yacht and wants a boat that can run to the Bahamas at 40 mph, nose onto a beach in three feet of water, and avoid the heavy maintenance of large diesels. Outboards can be serviced or replaced individually, and in the worst case a single engine failure still leaves four running.

Running costs are still yacht-scale. Budget roughly $350,000 to $650,000 a year for a professional captain, insurance, a 70-foot slip, service on five outboards and the generator, stabilization and electronics maintenance, and fuel. Fuel alone can exceed $100,000 for an owner who runs a few hundred hours a season.

Resale is unproven. With only a handful of boats delivered, early used examples are priced as a way to skip the build queue, and long-term value will depend on how the super console segment matures.
