The 670 LXS is the biggest boat South Carolina-based boatbuilder Scout has ever made, and it's also the largest centre console ever built and now the largest outboard-powered yacht in the world at 20.35m (66'9") in length.
It's a boat that is blurring conventional categories. There are five Mercury outboards sitting on the stern, opening balconies on the aft deck, a main deck saloon, plus a lower lounge and three cabins: a forward owner's cabin, a double guest cabin, and a twin. It's an epic feat of engineering, but what are you supposed to do with it?

Review Video
The 670 LXS is built around a high-performance, carbon and epoxy-infused hull: lightweight and engineered for speed and stability. It’s a stepped deep-V design on a strong, lightweight structure without excess bulk. The hull has been carefully designed to cope with its 3,000hp and to run comfortably at pace. And that pace is serious: with five Mercury V12 600hp outboards across the transom, the 670 LXS will top out at around 52 knots and comfortably cruises at 35 knots with a range of about 500 nautical miles.

It’s easy to get lost in those headline numbers, but what’s equally impressive is how manageable the boat feels at low speed. There's joystick control at multiple stations, Skyhook dynamic positioning, and a dedicated transom MFD for fishing operations, giving an owner-operator confidence to handle her without a full crew. The computer-assisted technology now takes the strain - back in the day, a boat with five outboards would have required octopus-like arms to steer, throttle, and trim them all.
And it’s not just about the driving. There’s a quiet cleverness in the way the 670 LXS is put together. The service areas are easy to reach, the anchor locker is fully lined and beautifully detailed, and those small touches - like hatches that hold themselves open - make all the difference. It invites the owner to stay involved, to lift the hatches, check the systems, and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing where everything is.



There’s also the option to add on a flybridge - the 670 LXF. On the LXS, the ladder provides access to the hardtop for tending to navigation gear, but on the LXF version, it would lead to a semi-enclosed upper deck under a hardtop. It’s a compact space, but there would be room up there for a forward seating area and a second helm position aft and behind that, an extra row of rocket launchers. The flybridge add-on nudges the 670 a little closer to a sportfisher, giving it a slightly different silhouette.

This is where, if you compare it to a 'regular' 70ft flybridge or sportscruiser, the 670 LXF loses out. Only having three rather small cabins, two bathrooms, and a compact saloon on the lower deck is a big compromise compared to boats of a similar size, which may have four ensuite cabins and a couple of crew berths.
Scout has given owners a clear design choice inside the 670 LXS, with three interior finish options - light Salt, mid-tone Coral, and darker Neptune - each bringing a different character to the space. Whichever finish is chosen, the saloon is fully air-conditioned, but not boxed in. The big side window drops at a button-press, controlled from the local panel or straight from the helm screens - linking the saloon to the outdoor bar and galley.
The interior galley includes an induction hob, a microwave under that, cooling space, and some storage - not masses, but the deck outside is where most of the cooking’s expected to happen. The saloon has a pop-up TV that disappears flush into the ceiling - this is controlled via a screen nearby, with Garmin control panels positioned throughout the boat so you can manage lighting, AV, and windows from several locations.
Opposite the TV is the internal dinette, with a table that adjusts for height on a sliding leg. It’s a space that’s there when you need it, especially when you want to step out of the heat, but the open connection to the deck means you’re never cut off from what’s going on outside.

Scout’s included a relaxed media room down here on the lower deck - a comfortable area with a sofa, a small TV (which you can swap for a larger one if you’re happy to give up a bit of storage), and a mini galley with a coffee machine, fridge and some useful storage space. It’s a serve-yourself setup, ideal when you want to grab something without heading back upstairs.
There’s a Garmin screen down here too, so you can stay fully in control of the boat’s systems from this level. It’s bright down here, due to the opening above that’s exposed to the windscreen, though Scout has fitted a blind that can fully shade the area or just soften the sunlight.



There’s a day head to starboard - big enough to fit a separate shower. The port-side double connects directly to the bathroom, so you can treat it as an ensuite. Headroom’s fine in the entrance, but you lose space above the berth. Storage is good, though with plenty of hanging space.
Opposite there is a twin cabin. You can stand comfortably at the entrance, but the ceiling drops quickly as you move under the helm and headroom is severely restricted. You’ve still got enough space to move around and get changed just inside the doorway.


Owner's Cabin
Forward, the owner’s cabin can be fully closed off using sliding doors - they open and close using a button - so you can keep things open plan or have full privacy. There’s a split ensuite arrangement - toilet to starboard and a separate shower to port - and the berth looks comfortable, though you won’t be sitting up in bed here. The foredeck seating above eats into the headroom. Realistically, this isn’t the sort of boat where you’ll be spending weeks on board - it’s a big, fast day boat, built for running out to the sandbar and chasing fish.

The helm of the Scout 670 LXS is a clean, sharp design, finished in black leather to cut glare and framed by four oversized Garmin screens. The layout is mirrored port and starboard - the skipper’s side carries the wheel, but the opposite side has full-size screens too, giving passengers the freedom to track data without stepping into the skipper’s line of sight.
Scanstrut phone holders are built into the dash - they keep your phone upright, in view, and on charge while you’re cruising. A neat strip of hard buttons still runs along the helm for key functions like windows and lighting - not everything is buried in the screens.




The seating is set high, great as a leaning post when you’re pushing on - but the bolsters drop easily for a fully seated position. Armrests are fitted for comfort on longer passages, and visibility is excellent both forward down the long bow and aft, where cameras dotted around the boat keep you fully aware of what’s going on.


Boarding from the stern, the 670 LXS starts as it means to go on, with a carbon fibre boarding ladder mirrored by the carbon fibre deck shower. Balconies fold down on both sides, adding to the already generous cockpit beam. When they’re stowed, there’s a smart step built into each side to make boarding easy from either direction.
The finish and engineering here are exactly what you’d expect from Scout; they are known for their build quality, and you can feel it straight away just looking at the fittings. With the balconies deployed, the cockpit opens right up into a broad, versatile space that’s as much about sociable living as it is about serious fishing.

The fishing kit is neatly integrated, too. Along the transom, there are rod holders within easy reach, bait wells on either side, and deep deck storage throughout. Beneath one of the deck hatches is the Seakeeper, while another hatch gives access to a 40kW generator - hefty equipment for a centre console, but it needs to be. This is a big boat with air conditioning throughout, so the systems are sized to match. To port, there’s a sink; to starboard, a grill so you can wash up and prep the catch right at the back of the boat.
Scout has patented a rocket launcher system, and it's in use on the 670 LXS. It's dual purpose with the whole assembly tilting up to stow the bimini back into the hardtop, and then tilting back down when you want to put your rods in or out. There's a dedicated MFD mounted on the ceiling at the back of the cockpit to keep the fish finder/radar right in your eyeline while working the deck. When you’re done, it folds flush into the coaming to keep everything clear.


Forward slightly, and you come to a nice, sheltered dining area. The space aft is where all the sun-soaked action happens - swimming, relaxing, enjoying the water - but up here, things are a little more protected. Air-conditioning vents are cleverly set into the seating itself, so it stays cool and comfortable, even in the heat. The dining table sits neatly ahead of you, backing directly onto the bar. Between them is a drop-down window that lowers cleanly into the counter below, helping to connect the two spaces.
There’s a ladder built into the structure, providing access to the roof for maintenance, and next to that is a second joystick control so you can lean out, keeping a close eye on things, and still having fingertip control over all five engines. On top of that, you’ve got independent controls for the bow thruster, stern thruster, and Skyhook position-hold, all right at hand.
It’s a cockpit that will pull double duty - wide and comfortable enough for socialising and relaxing, but also fully rigged for fishing with deep, lined storage and technology to keep you in control of the boat and stay in the action.



Side Decks & Foredeck
Along the side decks, the bulwarks are nice and high, and there are internal railings placed for tying off fenders or steadying yourself. There are built-in fender sockets which are simple to clip into and pop-up cleats further forward running along the edge with more grab rails positioned just where you’d want them.
You’ll find the best sunlounging space right up on the open foredeck. There’s a sun pad with actuated backrests, so you can lift them into a lounging position, and forward of that, there’s a comfortable U-shaped seating area facing toward the bow that wraps around a solid table. It’s the spot you can imagine dropping into for a sundowner or taking in the ride when you’re cruising.



The base price for the 670 LXS is $6,806,067 ex VAT (correct at time of writing). Steep by anyone's standards, but this is a very well-engineered boat with carbon fibre epoxy construction and, of course, five 600hp outboards with the joystick as standard.
And although the price is high, the list of standard equipment is impressive and includes items such as a 40kW Köhler generator, 48,0000BTU air-conditioning, a suite of Garmin nav kit including twin 22in MFDs, a bow anchor camera, teak decks and a Zipwake trim system.
Some cost options to add on top of that would be the twin Garmin MFDs for the navigator ($27,600), FLIR night vision camera ($34,181), Sleipner bow thruster ($29,176), and Seakeeper 14 gyro ($170,000).
If you're into fishing, there are plenty of tasty options to tick, too, such as: Furuno OmicScan sonar ($120,000), Garmin Fantom radar ($16,360), Dometic ice maker ($24,906), twin teaser reels ($12,941), outriggers ($16,700), hard top rocket launchers ($9,800) and a Release Marine fighting chair ($44,000).
If you're dropping this much cash on a big centre console, running costs probably aren't a major concern; even so, you have to take into account the amount of fuel five 6.0-litre V12s will use and how much it will cost to service and run them every year.
Our Verdict
$7,000,000 buys a lot of boat - in this case, the biggest outboard-powered centre console on the water. The Scout 670 LXS brings upper-quality build, superyacht credentials, and big outboard performance, but it’s more than just numbers. There’s a real sense of fun in its scale - an attempt to see just how far the centre console can stretch.
This is a boat that just doesn’t compromise. Waterskiing, sprinting to the Bahamas, cruising the intercoastal at a gentle pace, or fishing with friends - the 670 LXS can do all of it. Fast or slow, sporty or sociable, day trips or weekend cruises - it’s not a sportfisher, and it’s not quite a sports yacht either. It’s comfortably in between - a big, capable platform that’s happy to switch roles as the day unfolds.
Reasons to Buy
- Fast 52 knot top speed
- Lots of storage
- Great fishing layout
- Joystick control & Skyhook
Things to Consider

Rivals to Consider
By dint of this being the biggest centre console ever made, it doesn't have many (if any) direct rivals but below are some boats of a similar size that offer some competition.
The Solaris Power 60 Open ST takes a more classic Mediterranean route than the Scout. At 60ft with a 17'6" beam, it’s all about seaworthiness, function, and style. Designed by Brunello Acampora of Victory Design with interiors by Roseo Design, the layout is flexible with options for two or three cabins and two bathrooms. Performance comes from twin Volvo Penta IPS engines - from IPS 800 through to IPS 1350 - offering top speeds between 30 and 39 knots and cruising speeds from 25 to 30 knots. The deep V hull handles a range of seas with ease, and the deck is set up for relaxed living, with walkaround access, large sunbathing zones, and a tender garage for easy launch and recovery.
More in line with the Scout's capabilities is the Viking 68C. This is a sportfisher through and through, combining massive diesel inboard power and performance with top-class build quality. It doesn't have the range of talents of the 670 LXS, but if fishing is your thing, there is simply nothing better. Yes, it's the business of hooking fish on the outside, but the interior is high quality and high luxury, with three cabins and space for two crew and a crew member, and a guide.
