Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Key West 225 CC 2010 vs Key West Boats 189FS 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Key West 225 CC 2010 vs Key West Boats 189FS 2021 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 250 hp, the Key West 225 CC 2010 has a 135-hp advantage over the Key West Boats 189FS 2021'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 — 1 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Key West 225 CC 2010 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Key West Boats 189FS 2021 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Key West 225 CC 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Key West 225 CC 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 22,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Key West Boats 189FS 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
