Key West 1720 Pro 2009 vs Key West 1900 CC 2007: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats

Both the Key West 1720 Pro 2009 and the Key West 1900 CC 2007 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 West 1720 Pro 2009 at 17,0 ft versus Key West 1900 CC 2007 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Key West 1900 CC 2007 tips the scales at 1 600 lbs - 450 lbs less than the Key West 1720 Pro 2009 at 1 150 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 150 hp, the Key West 1900 CC 2007 has a 30-hp advantage over the Key West 1720 Pro 2009's 120-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 West 1900 CC 2007 carries 60 gallons versus 31 gallons in the Key West 1720 Pro 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 5 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.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Key West 1900 CC 2007 and its 150-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Key West 1720 Pro 2009 with its 120-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Key West 1720 Pro 2009 vs Key West 1900 CC 2007 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Key West 1720 Pro 2009 or the Key West 1900 CC 2007?
The Key West 1900 CC 2007 is the longer of the two at 19,0 feet overall. The Key West 1720 Pro 2009 comes in at 17,0 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Key West 1720 Pro 2009 or the Key West 1900 CC 2007?
For trailering, the Key West 1720 Pro 2009 has the edge at 1 150 lbs dry weight versus 1 600 lbs for the Key West 1900 CC 2007. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Key West 1900 CC 2007 is rated to a maximum of 150 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Key West 1720 Pro 2009 tops out at 120 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Key West 1720 Pro 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Key West 1900 CC 2007 is certified for 5. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Key West 1900 CC 2007 measures 93" wide, compared to 82" for the Key West 1720 Pro 2009. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Key West 1720 Pro 2009 or the Key West 1900 CC 2007?
The Key West 1900 CC 2007 has the bigger tank at 60 gallons, versus 31 gallons on the Key West 1720 Pro 2009. That 29-gallon difference translates to roughly 87–145 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Key West 1720 Pro 2009 and Key West 1900 CC 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Key West 1720 Pro 2009 and the Key West 1900 CC 2007 are built by Key West. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
