Super User gim Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 Got an email from Crestliner today about a new 20.5 foot aluminum bass boat built for the tournament angler. Let the comments begin. https://www.crestliner.com/pt/pt-20/?utm_source=Learn%2BMore&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=PT20%2BeBlast Quote
Megastink Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Looks nice. I've been eyeing up an Xpress x19 or H18. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 Meh...not overly impressed. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 Large back deck with minimal storage. Im guessing because of the stern being full of floatation. For what that's going to cost, I'd get the Lund instead 2 Quote
Josh_Bovaird Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I was excited for this boat but after seeing I'm not so sure Quote
Super User Further North Posted March 10, 2016 Super User Posted March 10, 2016 It'd work. Looks like the Lund has more storage, but that could be misleading as this one is longer. ...right now I'd probably lean towards the Lund, but I'd want to see them side by side and know that the $$$ are.

The Lund's going to go 35-40K depending on how it's outfitted - less with less & more loaded up. A-Jay 1 Quote

A-Jay I knew about where the Lund was going to be (been following your progress), I am curious about the Crestliner. If they're smart, it'll come in under the Lund...it does not look like it's as much boat... 1 Quote

As for storage space, when you look at the Pro V set up anything that can be used for stoage, is. There's no space left between compartments. But the boat's not 20 ft either. Looks like they're making the most out of what's available. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User Further North Posted March 10, 2016 Super User Posted March 10, 2016 Yup, that's why I'd expect the Crestliner to come in under the Lund...that and it's just not as nice a rig, from what I can see. Quote
Super User Further North Posted March 10, 2016 Super User Posted March 10, 2016 I priced it out with the 200 Optimax, snd console, center seat, custom cover. $34,288 I think when I priced out the Lund similarly, it was about the same. Quote

It’s a run of the mill modified v. Nothing wrong with that, but it's no pro v Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 11, 2016 Super User Posted March 11, 2016 This boat is a competitor to the Tracker 195, Xpress, and Sea Ark. I got a look at the Tracker 195 this past Sunday. It's got a lot of deck space but, unlike the Lund, no storage in the front 4ft of the boat. I believe the Tracker is only rated for a 150. This will keep the price point below the Crestliner Quote
