Welcome to the Key West Family!

Dear New Boat Owner,

On behalf of every employee at Key West Boats, we are pleased to welcome you to the Key West Family!  For over 25 

years, Key West Boats has continuously set new standards in safety, construction, and design.  Our skilled team, from our laminators 

and riggers to our sales and engineering department, are dedicated to every boat we build and we are constantly working to improve 

our product.  Our dedication to each boat and inspiration for new ideas comes from the most the important people, our customers. We 

value your input and encourage you to share your thoughts with us as well as the memories you make aboard your 244CC!  Owning a 

boat is an amazing experience and we dedicate ourselves to making sure your 244CC will be the best experience you have on the

water…

Like all Key West Boats, the 244CC was designed and built to provide owners with unmatched safety that includes but 

not limited to, its upright and level floatation that makes the 244CC both unsinkable and guaranteed to remain upright if swamped.  

Although extremely safe by design, your 244CC is only as safe as the manner in which it is operated.  Regardless of your experience, we 

encourage you to read the generic manual we have provided with your boat and other resources for information on rules of the road 

and safe boating practices to ensure you are operating your boat safely and within the rules at all times.

Like all Key West Boats, the 244CC was designed to be low maintenance, ergonomic and an efficient boat to maintain 

and operate.  Familiarizing yourself with the boats systems and working closely with your dealer will go a long way in providing that.  

We are pleased to provide you with this guide and schematics of the systems in the 244CC to ensure you are confident before you step 

aboard for your first memorable trip!  Following the information in this guide and your dealer’s service plan will help to provide you 

with many years of reliable service so that you can consistently enjoy your time on the water, experience things only possible with and 

discover the joy that owning a 244CC brings!  

Finally and most importantly, like all Key West Boats, your 244CC was built by a dedicated and experienced team who 

gave it a unique and personalized story that started when you and your dealer gave it a unique and one of a kind character.  25+ years 

and over 20,000 boats later, we still look at each boat we build as having its own unique character, story and as an important part of 

our family.  Your 244CC is not just another “Unit” and becoming the owner of this 244CC does not make you just another “customer”.  It 

makes you a part of our family, a family we have been dedicated to for over 25 years and is over 20,000 unique and personalized 

stories strong.  We are honored to have you part of our family and write another unique and personalized story…Safe passages and

Tight Lines!

Sincerely,

The Key West Team
