Key West
244 Center Console
2009–Current
The 244 CC sports our second generation steeped hull, an extreme angle of entry, and an exaggerated bow flair that make for a comfortable, dry run. Features such as bow and stern seating options, standard freshwater, and console changing room make it family-friendly as well. (Manufacturer Provided Description)
EDITOR NOTES: The 244 is a no-frills, entry-level boat whose wide 9-foot beam makes for a roomy cockpit. Note extreme bow flare. The stepped hull is unusual — the step extends across part of the bottom but not up to the chines. Foam-filled hull construction provides positive flotation. Features include twin 18-gallon aft livewells, forward seating with storage boxes under, fold away aft bench seat, double-wide captain’s chair with flip-up bolsters and rocket launchers, enclosed head compartment. No in-deck storage boxes aft of the console. Twin Yamaha F150s top out at 50 mph.
