She carves through chop rather than skipping over it.
A stepped 22 degree deadrise V hull and a setback transom give the 400 LXF a confident bite in open water, holding her line through a turn and softening the impact of a head sea. Triple outboard power, available up to a quad Mercury Verado 300 set up, delivers a 30 knot cruise and a 60 knot top speed, with 1,514 litres of fuel supporting a range of 450 nautical miles. At the helm, triple heated captain’s seats and dual flush mounted Garmin screens keep the crew settled and informed, while a custom hardtop with curved safety glass shields the console from sun and spray. An optional Seakeeper stabiliser flattens her at rest for those who want it.
Her lines belong to a boat built to go fast first.
A flared bow, a deep forward sheer and a setback transom sit above a stepped hull designed purely for offshore performance, and the gelcoat finish carries an automotive grade shine that holds up to years at sea. Forward, U-shaped bow seating and a pair of double-wide reclined lounges give day guests up to twelve a place to settle, each with recessed pockets and chargers close to hand. Aft, triple heated helm seats sit beneath a custom hardtop glazed in curved safety glass, shielding the console crew without closing the deck in. Rod holders run along the gunwales, the transom and the hardtop itself, confirming her fishing intent at a glance.
Below deck, the 400 LXF offers more than most 12 metre consoles attempt.
A single cabin sleeps two, built around a 6 foot 5 inch V-berth with headroom and finish more associated with a larger yacht. A 12,000 Btu air conditioning unit keeps the space liveable through warm Mediterranean nights, while a glass cooktop and a flat screen television support an evening at anchor rather than a dash back to the marina. The enclosed head carries a toilet, shower and sink of its own, and a 16 gallon waste tank means owners are not tied to shore facilities. Additional storage runs to a vertical rod unit, an ice maker and a refrigerator, so the cabin earns its keep as a genuine retreat rather than a token below deck space.
On deck, the 400 LXF is built around movement rather than fixed seating.
A raised, aft facing lounge sits built into the leaning post, giving a second vantage point once the lines are out, and the cockpit opens onto twin 92 gallon in-floor fish boxes and twin 33 gallon baitwells for a serious day’s fishing. Port and starboard acrylic transom access doors and a walk-through platform make moving to the water simple, backed by an Armstrong dive ladder for swimmers. Forward, the U-shaped lounge and double-wide seating convert the bow into a sun deck the moment the rods come in. Twelve day guests can move freely between these spaces without the layout ever feeling crowded.
The 400 LXF is Scout’s entry point into the LXF range, built without compromise.
She measures 12.2 metres with a 4 metre beam and a 0.7 metre draught, shallow enough for the anchorages her larger sisters cannot reach. Power comes from triple outboards as standard, with Mercury and Yamaha options running up to a quad Mercury Verado 300 configuration, and naval architecture, exterior and interior design all come from Scout’s in-house team. A 1,514 litre fuel capacity supports a 450 nautical mile range at a 30 knot cruise, with 60 knots available at the top end. For an owner comparing centre consoles in the 12 to 13 metre bracket, the 400 LXF offers an unusually complete below deck space alongside genuine sea keeping ability.
