The very first Key West ever built, and it’s not some dusty project sitting in a yard — it’s fully functional, well-maintained, and powered by reliable twin Yanmar diesels.
Built in 1983 with heavy-duty fiberglass, this boat was made to last — and it has. The twin Yanmars run strong, offering excellent fuel economy, low maintenance, and the kind of torque and longevity only diesels can deliver. Whether you’re running offshore, cruising the backcountry, or hauling gear, this hull is built for serious use.
Key Features:
- Twin Yanmar diesel engines – dependable, efficient, and ready to go
- Heavy-duty fiberglass construction
- Fully functional – not a project
- Solid deck, strong hull, clean bilge
- Electronics, controls, and systems all in working order
- Clean paperwork and ready for the water
This is a rare opportunity to own a working piece of boating history. Whether you're a fisherman, a commercial operator, or just someone who appreciates a solid, classic build with reliable diesel power, this boat delivers.
