    Default Anybody here own a Crestliner?


    I'm going to be looking at this boat on the 24th. Anyone have any input on Crestliner.

    The one thing I would question is "Treated panel flooring with limited lifetime warranty". I'm assuming that is wood. Maybe use that as a bargaining tool if it doesn't bother you that much or look at other manufacturers comparable to this that use all aluminum.

    I like the boat, me personal I'd prolly go a size up, but that's just me.

    Treated wood floors seem to come with the territory on this style boat,
    somebody will come up with one to prove me wrong, but at least last I
    looked, Lund, Alumacraft, all still have wood floors.

    I have a 2003 1750 Fishhawk. Love the boat. Since Brunswick makes them now, I can't tell you if they even compare with my boat. The only change I would make in mine is I wish it was 18' and had the max h.p. you can put on it. I have a 90 h.p. Suzuki on mine (rated for 125). Boat runs 43 m.p.h. loaded with gear, gas and full livewell. Very quick to get on plane and to reach top end. Plenty of room and a good ride. I fish by myself, but still wish it was 18', I don't know why. Even with 2 people in the boat, the person in the back can move around and you don't know it. I do know the a new 1700sc is $24000 and mine was $17000.

    I've got a buddy with one of those and it is nice. He's got a Johnson salt water edition motor on it (Can't remember HP). Will fish 3 people comfortably.

    TO,
    I've got an Crestliner CMV 1850 and love it to deah. Have fished from Louisiana to Canada with it and after a Lund Pro V and a Lowe would never go back. Dry, smooth, comfortable ride. Can't go wrong with a Crestliner. Good Luck...
