Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Scout 220 Bay Scout 2007 vs Scout 320 LXF 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Scout 220 Bay Scout 2007 vs Scout 320 LXF 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Scout 320 LXF 2013 measures 32,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 11,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Scout 220 Bay Scout 2007 at 21,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Scout 220 Bay Scout 2007 tips the scales at 185 lbs — 114 lbs more than the Scout 320 LXF 2013 at 71 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 700 hp, the Scout 320 LXF 2013 has a 550-hp advantage over the Scout 220 Bay Scout 2007's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Scout 320 LXF 2013 carries 262 gallons versus 65 gallons in the Scout 220 Bay Scout 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Scout 320 LXF 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Scout 220 Bay Scout 2007 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Scout 320 LXF 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Scout 320 LXF 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 32,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Scout 220 Bay Scout 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
