Re: Key West Boats?
After coming back to boating this past year, I bought an older used Renken that got me by untill I could decide whether to stay with boating or pursue other interests. I got a ton of good information on these forums, helped me with a few issues on the Renken and decided I was back to stay.
That began my search for a newer more reliable boat. Due to my past great experiences with Yamaha motors, that was one of my requirements. Also, I read every post I could find on Key West and found one negative comment.
That had to do with a new boat that the owner wasn't happy with the dealers service, I wrote that one off and began looking.
I found my current boatjust two months ago on craigslist. It was priced way under retail by a private owner, had low hours and was a different layout, being a dual console. However it opens up to a very wide stern (8') and is very dry and fishable.
I have added another battery and switch. I am very pleased with the overall build and quality. No, it is not a Mako or a Grady White, but I plan to keep it and resale value is not that important to me at this time. These are popular boats with a wide dealer network and ample parts avaiability.
I don't think you could go wrong. On the link I am going to give, you will see they are given pretty good reviews by the owners. Good luck!
