Key west 1720

[Fishmore603]

I’m looking at a 2001 key west 1720 dual console with a 2003 Yamaha F100 fourstroke. I was curious as to if any of you had any experience with the boat. Or had any words of wisdom about it. Thanks in advance.

Since no one replied, Googled it and came up with   www.keywestboatsforum.com  I am sure they will have answered your question on that site. There were also some post located on thehulltruth.com.  From what I read sounds and looks like a nice ride ,the only thing negative I found was the scuppers holes should be plugged when trolling around as they are low to the water line and it has a tendency to back flush. That was on the center console model which I would think has the same hull as the dual. Along with at least a 85 hp to move it along crisply.. It also said the earlier ones were designed for two strokes which weigh less than the 4 your looking at.So the boat may sit low because of the extra weight on the stern,again CC model and the dual may have a different  transom set up or that issue may have been addressed depending on year of boats. Good Luck !

  My buddy has a 20' open bow fish/family one.  Has 150 hp Yamaha 4 stroke. has a very nice ride & easy to fish out of .  He does all rod in hand fishing, no equipment other than a few rod holders.    Nice boat imo.
