2010 Key West Boats 268 Center Console Review
The 2010 Key West Boats 268 Center Console stands out as one of the top resounding gems in the Fiberglass Fishing Boats category. Whilst its construction offers longevity, it is the performance and design features that make it stand head and shoulders above the competition.
A Grand Design
This masterpiece from Key West Boats offers an impressive length of 26' 8" matched equally with a beam of 9' 8". A feature that not only lends it an imposing stature but also offers generous space and stability. This is augmented by a 16" draft which further enhances its stable navigation in various water conditions. The dead rise of 21° adds to its excellent seakeeping abilities.
Performance
Positioned as an efficient and powerful vessel, the 268 Center Console comes with a maximum horsepower of 500, and it is recommended to utilize between 300 to 450 horsepower. Supported by an impressive fuel capacity of 180 gallons, it assures long tours in the ocean without the constant worry of refueling.
Remarkable Features
Key West Boats has gone out of their way to incorporate an array of functional and convenient features into the 268 Center Console. The No Wood-No Rot Construction coupled with a ten-year hull warranty is a testimony of its durability and commitment to quality. It is equally equipped with a Self-Bailing Cockpit and High-Speed Pick-Up Livewell, making it fishing-friendly.
Other endearing features include a Foam injected Fiberglass Stringer System, Built-in Fuel Tank, and a Raw Water Wash Down Kit. For ease of control and convenience, the boat comes fitted with a Sea Star Hydraulic Tilt Steering system, a Digital Gauge Package, and a Stereo system with an MP3 port and four speakers. The boat also comes with a spacious storage box under the leaning post seat.
Safety and Convenience
The included Comfort Compromises are exceptional offerings from Key offering generous headspace with a porta potti and a fresh water sink. The dual battery switches with wiring for batteries ensure reliability in electrical supply. The boat also comes with a Multi-Step Ladder that stores flush in the hull, to ensure quick and easy access for swimmers. The boat comes standard with a 20-gallon live well stored in the rear corner, which not only caters for convenient fishing but also saves on space.
Conclusion

The See Dealer Cost Story
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
