View Full Version : NEW BOAT
LOOKING FOR SOME INPUT ON THE TOURNAMENT EDITION CRESTLINER,GOOD AND BAD POINTS.I HAVE RODE IN THE SPORTFISH AND SUPERHAWKS,(NEVER THE TOURNAMENT EDITIONS)
About as good as it gets in my opinion. Wide, excellent layout, plenty of storage and really nice ride in rough water. Overall craftsmanship is very high quality. You won't be disapointed whether you go with the 172, 182, or 202.
If you live in the east, email me and I can set up a demo ride.
may your line be tight

Check out their website, crestliner.com. there are specifics and detailed photos. If you are in the west, email terry wilson, one of their national pros, to find out how he liked his ride. tewilson@wyoming.com. Everyone I have spoked to loves the ride, the layout, the width of beam (102") on the 202, and the fishability. They also have the only 100 percent redundant livewell and aerator pump system out there; pretty neat and sure to keep your fish alive during a tournament. They also have a terrific warranty, if you will be keeping your boat for awhile. I don't think there is an aluminum welded boat that competes strongly with the tournament series boats. They are also offering some awesome motor rebate package deals now at the shows, etc. Mercury and Yamaha have either free mooring cover, or additional rebates. Check it out, climb aboard, and you will be impressed.
I own a 98 and have nothing but good to say about it. Great boat. If you do purchase one I would try to negociate with the dealer to replace all the snaps on the cover with a top quality
after market snap. I did and have had no problems. Maybe Crestliner has remedied this since I purchased mine. Other than that, its a good boat.
