2026 Key West 179 FS

The 179 FS is a fiberglass center console built for active families who want fishing and cruising capability without the size or towing demands of a larger boat. At under 18 feet, it fits in a standard residential garage and can be towed by most modern SUVs, yet incorporates features typically reserved for bigger designs.

Powered by a single 115 hp Yamaha gasoline engine, the boat delivers spirited performance with efficient fuel economy. The updated hull design balances capability with practicality, making it suitable for both fishing trips and recreational cruising.

Onboard, the 179 FS offers a rear deck with a folding jump seat, extensive storage throughout, molded-in rod racks for tackle and gear, and easy bilge access. The open layout maximizes usable space on the compact footprint. Optional equipment includes a Fusion stereo system, pop-up fender holders, trim tabs, bow cushion, hydraulic tilt helm, and analog gauges.
