Buyer questions
Eight questions buyers ask about the Key West 263 FS, answered from the boats listed on US Marine Connection right now.
Right now US Marine Connection shows three approved, priced 263 FS listings asking between $124,977 and $164,977, with a median asking price of $139,977. Those are asking prices, not what anyone actually paid. The spread largely tracks the setups: the listings include twin Yamaha 400 HP and twin Yamaha 200 HP rigs across two model years, so compare power and condition before you compare numbers.
The current listings cover 2023 and 2024 model years only. Two of the three are pre-owned 2023 boats with twin Yamaha outboards, and one is a pre-owned 2024. There are no older hulls or brand-new boats of this model in the mix at the moment, so everything on offer is a recent, low-age center console rather than a long-used older boat.
There is no typical figure to quote from three boats, and the listing data fields do not report hours consistently. What the dealer descriptions themselves show is a wide range: one 2023 at 581 hours, another 2023 at 529 hours, and the 2024 at 70 hours. Treat those as what the seller stated and verify against the engine computer readout during a survey or sea trial.
These are 2023 and 2024 Florida saltwater boats with twin Yamaha outboards, so start there: pull the computer hour readout on both engines, check service records, and look closely at lower units, mounting hardware and corrosion. Inspect the fiberglass hull for stress cracks and the transom and stringers for moisture. Confirm all rigging, fuel system and electronics work under load on a sea trial, since two of the three show 500-plus stated hours.
The listed boats are fiberglass center consoles measuring 26 feet LOA with a 9 foot 3 inch beam, gas powered by twin Yamaha outboards. Power varies by boat: two listings carry twin 400 HP Yamahas and one carries twin 200 HP Yamahas. Beyond that, the descriptions do not itemize electronics, seating or livewell details, so ask the seller for a full equipment list and photos of the cockpit layout.
The listings point that way. All three are center consoles, a layout built around walkaround access and fishing room, and one dealer description describes the model as balancing serious fishing capability with comfortable family boating. Twin Yamaha outboards on a 26 foot, 9 foot 3 inch beam hull give you redundancy. The descriptions do not detail livewells, rod storage or outriggers, so confirm the fishing package with the seller.
Every 263 FS currently listed on US Marine Connection is in Bradenton, Florida, on the state's southwest coast. All three have photos posted. If you are outside Florida, that means travel or shipping is part of the equation for this model right now. Inventory changes, so check the current listings for city before planning a trip to see one in person.
The 239 FS is the smaller sibling with listings on the site: five boats asking $94,977 to $114,977, median $113,977, in 2026 and 2027 model years. So the 239 FS listings are newer and priced below the 263 FS range of $124,977 to $164,977. The 263 FS boats are 26 feet LOA with a 9 foot 3 inch beam; the site data does not give comparable dimensions or power for the 239 FS.
