Key West 260 CC Boats For Sale

The Key West 260 CC is the largest center console in Key West's CC lineup, a 26-foot offshore fishing platform that measures 25 feet 10 inches with a 9-foot beam, a 16-inch draft, and a 30-inch transom. It carries 175 gallons of fuel and has a dry weight of 4,300 pounds. The hull uses a deep-V entry, a stepped bottom, and a pronounced Carolina bow flare for shedding rough water and delivering a dry ride. Upright and level flotation is built in, and the boat is rated for twin engines, making it suited to anglers who run offshore and families who want stability at the sandbar.

Power on current builds comes from a pair of digital 200-horsepower Yamaha outboards turning three-blade props, for 400 horsepower of twin-engine capability. The Seakeeper Ride system is standard equipment, an automatic boat-leveling system that works the trim tabs to hold the hull level underway, reduce side-to-side rock, and help the boat get on plane. The digital throttle pairs with an adjustable steering wheel at the helm.

The console dash accommodates up to two 16-inch Garmin touchscreens, with room remaining for a flush-mount VHF, a Fusion stereo, a wireless phone charger, switch panels, and the Seakeeper Ride controls under a snap-in cover. The hardtop frame legs attach directly to the console rather than the floor, keeping the walkaround clear, with additional legs at the leaning post. The console interior is large enough for a changing and potty room. Cranking and house batteries sit in a dedicated space on the back side of the console, and the boat comes pre-wired for a bow-mounted trolling motor with wiring run forward to a battery compartment.

The bow has a through-hull windlass mounted under the deck in a sealed, self-draining compartment, controllable from the bow or the helm. The forward casting deck converts to forward-facing seating with cushions and backrests, and an insulated fish box with a macerated overboard discharge sits in the floor between two seats fitted with bolsters and armrests. In the stern, the convenience center leaning post mounts twin captain chairs with folding bolsters and armrests, and includes a utensil drawer, a freshwater sink, and a slide-out cooler that doubles as a rear-facing mezzanine seat. A heavy-duty folding stern bench supports two full-size adults and folds flush to open the cockpit, with a bilge access hatch beneath. Twin aquarium-style live wells fill the stern corners, each fitted with a ring so a 30-gallon trash bag drops in for easy cleanup. A side dive door that opens inward gives dock-level entry, and a telescoping ladder stores in the cavity beneath it.

Build details include Gemlux friction hinges on the hatches, a foam-sealed lid on the macerated fish box, recessed handrails, pop-up fender holders, four rocket launchers below and five on the hardtop, rear and forward spreader lights, and diamond-stitched upholstery. Key West positions the 260 CC as a mid-tier hand-laid hull backed by a 10-year warranty, half of which transfers to a second owner. The MSRP is $211,360, which places it well below comparably sized premium twin-engine center consoles in the 25-to-26-foot class. Buyers comparing it against higher-priced brands are weighing fit-and-finish details such as non-skid durability and hatch finishing against the money saved, which can go toward bigger engines, electronics, a trolling motor, or a better trailer.
