2026 Key West 179 FS

The 2026 Key West 179 FS is a 17.75-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull with twin gasoline engines. Designed as a compact, towable platform, it bridges the gap between nimble family runabout and capable fishing boat. The hull design balances performance with fuel efficiency across a range of power options, from modest to 140 horsepower.

The cockpit layout emphasizes practicality and storage. A folding jump seat occupies the rear deck, while the boat features extensive stowage throughout, molded-in rod racks, and straightforward bilge access. The footprint remains small enough to fit a residential garage and trail behind most modern SUVs, yet it does not sacrifice the fishing and cruising conveniences typically reserved for larger designs.
