This Key West 179 Family Sportsman (FS) in Marathon Blue is an ideal boat for a family looking to explore the creeks and rivers of the Chesapeake Bay. The boat is small enough to be easily managed, but the hull's 15 degrees of deadrise give it smooth ride for cruising and fishing. With only a 12 inch draft, this boat is well suited for beaching or anchoring on a sandbar for swimming. But it is just as easily at home crabbing or fishing, complete with a live well and rod holders.
The boat is powered by a reliable and quiet Yamaha F115XB with only 85 hours. The boat has been professionally maintained, shrink wrapped each winter, and kept out of the water at a boatel in Annapolis. Start the boating season off with the peace of mind in a lightly used, well kept center console.
