Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Scout 245 Dorado 2010 vs Scout Boats 320 Lxf 2019 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Scout 245 Dorado 2010 vs Scout Boats 320 Lxf 2019 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the Scout Boats 320 Lxf 2019 has a 100-hp advantage over the Scout 245 Dorado 2010's 250-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 Boats 320 Lxf 2019 carries 262 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Scout 245 Dorado 2010. 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 Boats 320 Lxf 2019 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Scout 245 Dorado 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Scout Boats 320 Lxf 2019 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Scout Boats 320 Lxf 2019 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 32,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Scout 245 Dorado 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
