    Default New Crappie Boat


    I picked up my new boat yesterday. Crestliner 1850 Fishhawk with a 150 Verado. I'm blown away with how the boat runs and handles. Can't wait to fish out of it!






    Here is a pic of the MK Fortrex t/m. It is super smooth, light and you can remove it in seconds.

    THAT is a sweet-lookin' rig and I am green with envy. I particularly like the layout w/ the 2 seats side by side.

    Wishin' you the best on your new rig.

    I'm gonna really like trolling out of this boat I think. This little livewell is perfect for keeping minnows handy

    Great looking rig. Can you put a tall seat in the front post, a couple kids in the 2 seats, and still have room to run the trolling motor? Would be ideal to take a couple grandkids fishing.:D

    Killer boat!!!! I bet your as giddy as a teenager in love! I like how your seats are down in below the rails. Let us know how it works out.
    The only way to have a good fishing spot is to make it yourself!

    That's a sweet rig - I love the seating arrangement and baitwell too.

    The TM... you involved somehow with MK co.? First peep I'd heard
    of new stuff like that, but it looks interesting - wonder if they'll do
    anything different w the Terrovas anytime soon?
    Details man, spill the beans :D

    No, I have no involvement with MK other than being a loyal customer:D I work with a Lund/Crestliner dealer here locally and worked a deal with Crestliner. They told me they had these motors and I could get one! I understand it will take the place of the Maxxum. It has lift assist, built in transducer and the same cable steer. They changed the bracket and it will slide off the mount and I love that. The frame is aluminum and beefed up where it scissors. It looks great, and is extremely smooth to deploy and run. I'

    The boat is "loud" but they wanted it to be:D

    I see no reason why you couldn't run a bike seat and put a couple kiddos in seats beside you. Kinda my plan also. I've got a 8 and 9 year old that love to Crappie fish. Your not keeping them in the back away from the action.
