Key Largo Boats????????????????????

Like ferm said, they aren't poorly built boats, just not real staute. Their 20 footers weigh no-where close to what a v weighs....about 2/3rds. So, they're not bad, but not great.

Thanks for the input guys I will let him know. Sounds like it will work for what he needs and with a two stroke Yamaha he shouldn't have any motor issues.

it a basically "you get what you pay for" boat. though i would buy a key largo over a fishmaster anyday. does that boat your friend is looking at have an abnoxiously large beam. the boat i was in did. it was very impressive on that size boat. that beam should make up for some of its other flaws. everything is a trade off.

That's a good motor but overall the price is a lil' high. Bud'mone jus nought a 17 Makp with 115 'rude for 5K. Shop around some more.

Well he bought the boat and is loving it. Bought a lift and has it on fresh water in the DelRay area of Florida. It didn't come with any mooring cover and the boat will be sitting there for long periods of time, seeing as it is his vacation house and he lives up here in RI.

Is he best off having one made at a canvas shop down there or ordering a premade one from a boat store, such as West Marine? I don't know if there are any good ones without snaps but I personally would want to go without snaps if it was an option.

Do any of you Floridians have any other suggestions for him about leaving the boat down there.
He is going to get a battery tender and pulls the drain plug before he leaves.

Thanks
