Did someone say polar ? I had a 18 ft wide (8 ft Beam)1999 model, and it
sucked. Great on flat water bad in chop. Gel Coat very thin and design not thought out. Gauges and lights had a wiring problem from factory. Gas gauge wires corroded off water dripping off access cover . Rod holders only held 2 rods should have been 3 both sides, hand rails on the center counsel in the way. Live well couldn't get water, pump too high above water line. Got air no water. No air bags, No foam in bottom of double haul had to drain condensation out. Rub rail pulled out ! They had short rivets and no backing washers ! Front pull off 1 st week in the water. I got a Boston Whaler..end of problems.. I catch fish now and don't worry about the boat ! Paid $13,000 got $ 7,200 after two years use ! No trade in value.. Had a great motor on it ( Yamaha) but the boat sucked big time. Got the boat at Gerrys Marine and I would never do that again. P.S. No one has a Key West in Key West..they all have Boston Whalers Allen "Saltcreekgs" wrote in message ... how does the key west boat hold up in salt water. I am looking at the 186 sportsman. thanks guy |
