Key West Skiff 177

KInd of thinking about another skiff … any body have any thoughts on the Key West 177 with the new Yamaha 70 Four stroke ???

a friend has an older 17 KW cc
It’s fast and has a very shallow draft, that’s the good part.
It’s a very hard ride especially across the harbor and the deck near the transom is always wet. Water is always coming in through the scuppers.

fwiw.
