A Crestliner ad uses Navy ships to tout the advantages of welded construction.

Are crestliner boats any good. Never had a problem with it although he is a real stickler for Maintenence and Clean-up as we all Should. I have a 2011 coming and just for a change went with the vinyl flooring in the main area and snap in carpeting. This hull is good for navigating to hunting spots and blinds.

Crestliner is popular for their Aluminum Fishing Bass Freshwater Fishing Jon and other among other classes and models. Minnesota Nice I asked if it was difficult mixing the two cultures welded versus riveted after all these years. They are two different companies both under the ownership of Brunswick.

While this is limited to the smaller boats and doesnt seem to be a problem on newer models owners report storage issues on some older Crestliners. Boat is good on open water but a handfull in small harbours like Sturgeon Point when there is. The new Crestliner looks like a completely new company out of Minnesota.

I use a 15hp kicker which mounts in the crestliner kicker transom without any brackets and attaches directly to steering wheel without any additional tie rod links. It had a good ride in rough water as long as you kept the speed up so the hull could cut the waves better. Remember May 12020 when they say We dont want your hunting guns.

Think about the maximum number of people you might have on board at one time and look at the number of seats. Whether you fish ski work or cruise a Crestliner boat will enhance your time on the water. Both are nice boatsBUT besides being almost the same pricePrincecraft is designed and built in Canada.

Four years with my 2007 Fish Hawk 1750 not problems. However the Crestliner jon boats and pontoons are not built there. Most Crestliner owners are happy with their purchase and would recommend the boats.
