If you’re looking for the ultimate "Swiss Army Knife" of small boats, the 2012 Key West 177 Skiff paired with an Evinrude 90HP is a powerhouse combination. This setup is highly sought after because it strikes a perfect balance between a shallow-water flats boat and a rugged coastal cruiser.
Here is a breakdown of what makes this specific 177 Skiff a standout:
The Powerhouse: Evinrude 90HP E-TEC
Putting a 90HP on a boat this light (approx. 1,050 lbs dry) turns it into a pocket rocket.
Torque: The E-TEC 2-stroke technology provides an incredible "hole shot," getting the boat on plane almost instantly—crucial when you’re starting in shallow water.
Maintenance: These engines were famous for their low-maintenance design and "no break-in" period, making them a favorite for owners who want to spend more time on the water than at the mechanic.
Efficiency: It offers the fuel economy of a 4-stroke with the aggressive power-to-weight ratio of a 2-stroke.

Top Features
The Key West "No Wood" Construction
Like all Key West boats from this era, the 177 Skiff features 100% composite construction. It is foam-filled and unsinkable, providing a massive amount of peace of mind when you’re miles away from the ramp.
Incredible Deck Space
The 177 Skiff uses its 7-foot beam effectively. It feels much larger than a standard 17-foot boat due to the wide-open cockpit and integrated storage.
Livewell: Large aerated livewell located under the forward console seat or aft.
Storage: Ample dry storage under the front casting deck and a dedicated anchor locker.
Low Profile: The low gunwales make it easy to land fish and easy to pole through the flats.
Versatility
While it’s a "Skiff" by name, the hull has a slight V-entry that allows it to handle a light bay chop better than a traditional flat-bottom skiff. It’s just as comfortable pulling a tube or wakeboard as it is stalking bonefish.
*PRICE INCLUDES $3,000 FINANCE REBATE*
