When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Key Largo 150 2010 and the Key Largo 160 CC 2013 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Key Largo 150 2010 at 15,0 ft versus Key Largo 160 CC 2013 at 15,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Key Largo 150 2010 tips the scales at 875 lbs — 864 lbs more than the Key Largo 160 CC 2013 at 11 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 115 hp, the Key Largo 160 CC 2013 has a 55-hp advantage over the Key Largo 150 2010's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Key Largo 160 CC 2013 carries 22 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Key Largo 150 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 4 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Key Largo 160 CC 2013 comes in at 0 lbs per hp versus 15 lbs per hp for the Key Largo 150 2010. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
