2026 Key West 189 FS

The 189 FS is a center console built for families who want both water sports capability and fishing readiness. Powered by a single 115 hp Yamaha gasoline engine, this 18.75-foot fiberglass boat balances recreational pursuits—skiing, tubing, and cruising—with serious angling features. The design prioritizes comfort and usable space, with ample seating throughout the boat and generous storage areas, including a large bow storage box and an anchor locker with anchor included.

Fishing amenities are substantial for a boat of this size. An aerated live well, macerated fish box, and four stainless steel rod holders with drain provision serve anglers well. The large bow casting deck provides room to work, and the molded-in rod racks on the gunwale offer additional storage. The rear bench seat features removable cushions, allowing conversion to an open fishing deck when needed. A raw water washdown kit and integrated swim platform round out the utility.

The build reflects practical design choices: foam-injected fiberglass stringers, a self-bailing cockpit, and no-wood construction eliminate rot concerns. The fiberglass construction is reinforced with a molded non-skid inner liner for durability. Standard equipment includes a stainless steel steering wheel with anti-feedback mechanism, an electric horn, bilge pump with auto float switch, compass, and courtesy lighting. The console offers ample face space for electronics, and a dedicated head compartment with light adds convenience for longer outings. The boat comes with a ten-year hull warranty.
