Wanted: Key West 186 CC - The Hull Truth

Mojoman10 · 03-19-2010, 11:45 AM

Want to buy a used, late model Key West 186 CC. Prefer 150HP 4 stroke power. I am located in North Carolina, but willing to travel for the right deal. Please email me details about your boat and photos (if you have them). I am ready to buy now.

I am still looking for a Key West 186CC with a 150HP 4S. All assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I found today a "new" 2008 (dealer holdover) 186CC with 150HP Yamaha and aluminum trailer for $24,995.

Boat is white with no top ( I would prefer a colored boat + bimini or maybe T-top. Do you think this is a good deal?

I hope to find a slightly used KW 186CC for less $$$, but this boat is the backup plan unless I can find a better deal.

Any recommendations on Key West dealers in the SE region?

Good used ones of these (at a decent price) are hard to find... I was looking at this model, too (before buying a larger KW...)

I went to Wilmington NC to look at a 2008 186CC, but it was an abused dog. I am still looking for a good 186CC. Please contact me if you have any good leads...

Is this the infamous one the "used car dealer" has for $18k?

Several folks over on your other thread were wondering what happened to your deal with the used car guy..a quick post over there wouldn't hurt. We are always looking at boats and good deals..it's interesting to hear how they turn out...

Would you consider a KW 19' CC with a Yamaha 115 4 stroke?

That's what I'm runnin now, but have been considering putting it on the market and trading up to something bigger.

What triumphrick said. Also, in that "neglected" thread of yours, with six pages of replies, at least two other guys posted leads to boats that might work for you (one owner and one guy that saw a CraigsList ad.) Did you ever contact either of them?

Do you realize that (leaving out specific things like "good Suzuki mechanic" and "type of steering" and "x brand vs. y brand,") you have started no fewer than FIVE threads in the last three weeks, and several in the three weeks before that, seeking exactly the same as you are seeking here? Maybe about time to finalize a deal? Not to mention that you were also looking last summer/fall, but OK, that was before the winter. Just sayin....?

(You can always bump to the top, (btt or ttt) an old WTB thread if you are still looking and haven't found the right thing, without starting a whole new thread.)

There is a guy that posted on page 6 of your first thread and has the same boat he will sell you for 18k It also has a F150 with 165 hours. Might want to go back over there and contact him. Or just click his name below

Thanks for the lead, but this boat is a dual console with 2 stroke and I am looking for a 186CC with 4 stroke (prefer 150HP).

Mojo - SW88 sent me some pics of this boat and it looks like a really nice boat at a very fair price.

I have a contract to purchase a used 2009 KW 186, pending inspection and sea trial.

Thanks for your offers. I will repost if the deal doesnt work out, but it appears to be solid.

I just upgraded to a Mako 248, so my Key Largo 186 will soon be advertised. Boat and Merc 90 ELPTO are both year 2000. Draft is 6"~8". I bought this from an elderly neighbor to crab. My Auxiliary flotilla lost two boats this year when members moved out of State, so I've used it for a couple of river patrols but crew complains of getting rained on, and I need to carry a larger crew. I installed an Icom IC-M504 VHF, Lowrance HD-7, Racor fuel/water separator, and the T-top. Load Rite trailer just had new bearings installed and a new spare tire has been added to the tongue. The boat will be available to drive away on or after 6/14/2010. I can be reached at ddintl (at) hughes.net <note that (at) replaces @ to prevent spam.
