2026 Key West 230 Bay Reef

The 2026 Key West 230 Bay Reef is a 23-foot center console powered by a single Mercury 300 hp V8 engine with electric steering. The boat combines a spacious open cockpit layout with the rod storage capability found on Key West's smaller models. The added length and beam deliver considerably more working room, while the increased depth—both in the cabin and cockpit areas—creates a capable platform for inshore work and reasonable open water performance.

The boat is outfitted with a hard top featuring an integrated Plexiglass windshield, LED lighting, and rod holders. Navigation and electronics include a Garmin GPSMAP 8612xsv 12-inch touchscreen display with through-hull transducer, plus a Garmin Kraken 75-inch trolling motor with 24V/36V capability and quick release. The entertainment system consists of a Fusion Apollo stereo with six JL M3 speakers and a six-channel amplifier.

The leaning post features premium independent flip bolsters with a 70-quart cooler and tackle center. Additional amenities include interior LED and underwater RGB lighting, a fresh water station, high-pressure washdown, wireless phone charging, and a molded swim platform with ladder. A hydraulic jack plate and PowerPole outboard bracket are fitted for engine trim and anchoring control.
