CONGRATULATIONS on your decision to purchase one of the
most exciting boats in the industry. We at Key West Boats
believe in a simple philosophy: design a product with the
boater in mind, build it with the best materials using the
latest in manufacturing technology, and oer it at a price the
customer can aord. This philosophy has made Key West
Boats one of the leading manufacturers of quality boats today.
This manual is another example of Key West Boats’ commitment
to customer satisfaction. We have carefully prepared this
information to assist you in the proper care and operation of
your new boat. Although this manual is written for the first-
time boater, we ask that even experienced boaters take the
time to read this manual and become familiar with its contents.
Since this manual is written to cover several like models in
our line, some areas may appear somewhat general in nature.
Some items in this manual are optional, may not be available
for your model or are available on Key West-packaged models
only. The illustrations are intended as only representative
reference views and may be a little dierent on your boat.
Along with this manual is information on major components
such as the engine, trolling motor, fish finder, etc. The suppliers
of these components provide their own care, operation and
warranty information. Be sure to read these manuals and
become familiar with them. We have made reference to the
manufacturer’s information where appropriate in this manual.
Thank you for choosing Key West Boats! With all the
boats on the market today we assure you that you have
made the right choice. We appreciate your business and
will make every eort for your continued satisfaction.
