  • This beautiful KEY WEST is owned by a good friend of mine.
    I did him a favor in picking up his boat in Islamorada and bringing it back home so he can take it on his long weekend vacation.

    Great video and a beautiful boat! That thing hauls with a single 300! I am considering the Key West 239FS or the Key West 263FS as my retirement boat. They seem to be a good combination of both family comfort and fishing.

    Yeah I'm sure we would all love to buy a newer boat. Reality is a vicious thing. Most of couldn't afford that as a first boat. I just bought a 19' CC Trophy from 1998. It's in phenomenal shape for its age and I don't give two shiots about what people think of Bayliner. I like the boat and its perfect for us. I paid what your motor cost for everything.

    Looking at other boats in this length class, they seem much heavier. Even though a lighter boat means faster speeds with the same size motor, do you see the light weight hurting the owner in a heavy chop or open water situation? (This would be for a 1st time boat owner outside of a flat bottom jon boat)

    • @billdavis6900
      @billdavis6900 Рік тому +3

      I know from a lot of personal experience that the lighter the boat, the worse the ride is. Light boats will beat you to death. Also, generally speaking, the heaver the boat is the better quality the build is. Think of it this way, the lighter an object is the easier it is to toss around. I can throw a baseball a lot further than I can throw a bowling ball. As far as the speed you mentioned, sea conditions will largely dictate how fast you can go, so a heavier boat will travel faster in choppy conditions than a lighter one.
