Key West 239 FS

BoatVerdict market snapshot

These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 43 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.

The BoatVerdict take

• BoatVerdict listing data

  Pricing is tight: the middle half of listings sits between $55,000 and $85,000, only a 1.5x spread. A boat asking well outside that band needs a reason, and "it is loaded" is usually not enough of one.

• Recall (USCG/CPSC)

  4 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.

Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.

What a used Key West 239 FS is worth

We have seen 22 distinct Key West 239 FS boats for sale between Jun 14, 2026 and Nov 14, 2026, model years 2015 to 2026, in 11 states. The median ask is $64,500 and half of all asks sit between $54,000 and $85,500. Asking prices fall about 6.6% for each year of age (29% over five years), measured on these 22 boats and steadied with the 7.6% rate we measure for the class.

Of the 14 listed now, 43% have been for sale for 60 days or more, counting re-posts as one boat. A boat that has sat that long usually has room to negotiate.

These numbers are for the builder, not this model. Check the specific hull with a HIN lookup for recalls and reported accidents.

Recalls affecting Key West

4 federal recall campaigns on file. Recalls are issued against hull-identification ranges, so a campaign listed here may or may not cover the specific boat you are looking at — check the HIN. Remedies are free from the builder, but only if the work was actually performed, and there is no central database that proves it was.

Engines we actually see on the 239 FS

• Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300) 5 listings · 12% of our sample · median 250 hp

  The benchmark for outboard reliability and resale. F150 and F300 routinely run 2,000+ hours with routine service. Top-tier buyer trust — a Yamaha-powered hull sells faster than the same boat on any other brand.

  Service reality: 100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion.

Key West 239 FS specifications

Rows marked "our listing data" are measured from listings, not published by the builder, and will differ from a brochure. Rows without a source we can name are not shown at all.

What to inspect on a used Key West 239 FS

1. Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300): 100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion. Seen on 5 of the 43 239 FS listings we track (typically 250 hp on this model).
2. Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 150 hours a year is heavy use for a Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300).
3. Assume saltwater service unless the seller can prove otherwise: pull the engine cowling and look at the powerhead, check trim-cylinder rams for pitting, and open the battery and fuse boxes for green corrosion. 100% of the listings we observed for this model are in coastal states.

This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on 239 FS listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
