Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Key West 1760 ST 2010 vs Key West Boats 189FS 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Key West 1760 ST 2010 vs Key West Boats 189FS 2022 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Key West 1760 ST 2010 has a 35-hp advantage over the Key West Boats 189FS 2022's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
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 1760 ST 2010 and its 150-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Key West Boats 189FS 2022 with its 115-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
