I'm buying a 1996 Crestliner Pro Am 17 with a 150 hp Evinrude on the back. I've never owned an aluminum boat before but since I drive an older Ford Ranger, I can't tow something heavy.
I currently have an old Bayliner 16 foot Trophy and while this boat has always brought me home and I've caught a lot of fish out of it, I never felt quite comfortable when the wind kicks up and the whitecaps get more than about 2 foot. I wanted something that was a bit taller but I found this Crestliner and I was impressed. Aluminum welded hull, tons of storage, huge rod lockers, big livewells and it even has a bait tank.
I'd certainly have no problem with big water in this boat and it's roomy and comfortable.
I was just wondering if any of you have owned one of those or the Sportfish which is the same boat and what you thought of them?
Thanks for the info.
