Re: key west boats

someone asked about key west and other brands in this size recently; I still have a 17' KW bay boat w/ a 70 my dad bought new in 1988. Good boat; low freeboard* can make it wet; good in flats and protected waters.

*compare their bay boat design to the deep V. Like everthing with boats, the features are trade-offs.

Re: key west boats

many boats are now made without wood. Key West are a very good boat. I've been out of Big Pine Key 13 miles in a 17'. Very stable and ride very well.
