Thread: 2013 Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 - $25,500

I got it measured. With the motor down, from the back of the motor to the tip of the trailer tongue, was roughly 22 Foot, 8 inches.

From the Transom to the trailer tip was roughly 20 foot 8 inches, I had no one to help so the tape was laid out on the floor. Its as close as I could measure.

I'm guessing its over your 20 Foot requirement.

Yea, unfortunately. I have had several CDC members give me the low down on your boat, all good reviews. Sounds like it will be an awesome boat for some lucky guy/gal. I could manage 21' by pushing it sideways once inside the garage, but I doubt I could squeeze another 18", total of 22' in a 20' space. Too bad too, I really like the layout on the Fish Hawk series.

They make a tongue folding device. You install it in front of the winch support by drilling holes and bolting it on. Then you cut the tongue and install the other side to it. Pins and swivels. Can knock off a couple feet in length for storing boat. I did one once for that reason.Fulton Fold-Away 3" x 3" 5,000 lbs. Trailer Bolt-On Hinge Kit Zinc Finish- HDPB330301

According to his first post it already has one. Swing tongue?? Or is that something different?

I thought you were needing measurements for a triple haul, behind a 5th wheel, so measured to the tip of the tongue, fully extended. It does indeed have a swing tongue, to shorten the total length, but did not think to measure that distance. I will go measure that length for you as well.

Side note, when storing the boat, I also stored mine sideways, but I placed it on car dolly's. Then jack the front to distribute the weight, and rotate sideways, for the winter in the garage. Those dolly's make it easy peasy.

Thanks Bill, I missed that. However, looks like we gonna get a new measurement.

I saw the dolly's and debated them in my garage too.
good to know this was tongue extended. I too assumed the measurement was with the tongue swung. Appreciate you measuring with it extended. I like a longer tongue for launching and retrieving, keeps my feet out of the water. Also appreciate you considering my triple towing length. I added the swing tongue to my current boat trailer. I had to whack off 30" and bet yours will be close to that measurement.
