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 176BR or 186BR!  

Owning a boat is an amazing experience and we dedicate ourselves to making sure your 176BR or 186BR will be the best experience 

you have on the water…

Like all Key West Boats, the 176BR and 186BR were designed and built to provide owners with unmatched safety that 

includes but not limited to, its upright and level floatation that makes the 176BR and 186BR both unsinkable and guaranteed to 

remain upright if swamped.  Although extremely safe by design, your boat 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 176BR and 186BR were 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 your boat 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 Family Sportsman brings!  

Finally and most importantly, like all Key West Boats, your boat 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 new FS is not just another “Unit” and becoming the owner of this FS 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
