2025 Key West 179 FS

The 2025 Key West 179 FS is a center console built around versatility in a compact package. At just under 18 feet, this fiberglass boat combines fishing and cruising capabilities typically found in larger designs while remaining trailerable behind most modern SUVs and storable in a residential garage. The updated hull delivers responsive performance and efficient fuel economy.

The layout maximizes usable space for its size. A folding jump seat occupies the rear deck, while the console area incorporates extensive storage and molded-in rod racks for tackle and gear. Bilge access is straightforward, and the overall design prioritizes both accessibility and function for active use.

Power comes from a single Yamaha 115 hp gasoline engine, delivering the performance expected from this hull design. The boat's modest dimensions—17.75 feet in length with a 7.33-foot beam—make it equally at home on the water or behind a tow vehicle, without sacrificing the features that appeal to fishing and cruising families.
