The Most INNOVATIVE Center Console on the Market | Palm Beach Boat Show 2024

Today we had the pleasure of taking a look at a brand new model by Key West, the 291 FS. This center console SHOCKED me at every turn; there were always new features that I hadn't noticed the first time around! This has to be one of the most innovative 29ft center consoles on the market.

Love your content thank you

[@michelemarch]

Wow! This boat has so many different features than I’ve seen on other cc models. Kind of fishing in luxury 💎. Great job walking us through it.

[@LivinSalty]

Definitely like fishing in luxury!

[@2BearsOutdoors]

Great stuff brother ❤❤

[@EricRaroha]

The battery compartment door folds all the way down. You just have to press a lever on one or both sides.

[@LivinSalty]

Yup! I found this out after filmed 😅

[@flnative7553]

were those spider cracks in the gelcoat under the livewell seat? I cant tell if it was cracks or dirt 16:14

[@LivinSalty]

Dirt

[@danielsoutdoors]

Thanks for coming and doing a video on the 291 FS! We’re pretty proud of it!

[@LivinSalty]

My pleasure! You should be, it’s really an awesome boat! I still can’t stop thinking about that tackle station behind the helm seating 🤤

[@willispautz]

Billistic was better

[@danielsoutdoors]

@@willispautz better for fishing yes. But they don’t make them anymore. And everyday less and less people even go fishing

[@Deepimpactocean]

A lot of nice features but that exposed pipework on the console is behind the times. Incredible amount of fishing tackle storage, but that bench seat has to go.

[@willispautz]

Yeah needs to be enclosed helm with Captain’s chairs

[@cryptojay727]

286k for 160k boat with a seakeeper hmmm

[@danielsoutdoors]

It’s a great price for a 29 foot feature rich boat

[@LivinSalty]

Where did the 160k come from?

[@mjw930]

He pulled it out of his ass. There is no such thing as a new 29’ twin engine center console for $160k anywhere in the world that I would drive past line of sight to land. That one has $12000 worth of electronics, $13000 joystick piloting, $4500 trim tabs, $2000 windlass, etc….. I agree it’s stupid money for a 29’ but that’s the market today. The cost of raw materials has doubled since 2019, labor has gone up 30% and property casualty insurance has almost doubled too. It’s half the price of a stripper top tier boat. kW is a top end mid tier builder, the price is very competitive.

[@wesleyferguson6932]

I agree with you on the price. They are just crazy to think it's worth over 300 thousand dollars. More like 150 thousand dollars in most people's mind I'm sure.

[@TheSpadre]

The use of space in the helm seating/rear-facing seating was very nice. I'll pass on just about everything else. It's like they said let's build a 29' boat and put everything imaginable in it. The result is a boat that is ok at some things and good at nothing.

[@LivinSalty]

Fair enough, not for everyone. I know personally I wouldn't want to dedicated so much room to seating as I primarily fish on our boat. But to someone looking to do a little bit of everything, I think this boat can be a great option.

[@TheSpadre]

@@LivinSalty obviously I am in the minority as even the manufacturers who historically leaned towards serious fishing boats have at least a couple of models that are filled with seating. In the bow a coffin box lounge seat to me is the perfect compromise.

[@LivinSalty]

@@TheSpadre agreed I love a coffin box in the front! I actually have a walkthrough coming out in the next couple weeks of a new 28 Sea Hunt that features a coffin box

[@markymark959]

Well some people buy pleasure boats that can be their station wagon of the sea!

[@fckptn]

There's a gap between the two forward-facing seats and water can leak into the storage below. You can see it in this vid. Wish they could make a one piece lid with better sealing

[@wesleyferguson6932]

Nice boat but way more than it should be. They need to wake up and be more realistic.
