Anyone own a Crestliner Fishhawk 1600?

[LEECH21]

Just bought a 16 foot, 2007 Crestliner FishHawk 1600, with a 60hp tiller this last weekend. Just curious if any other FMers have one. I'd like to hear your opinions on the boat.

I've got a 98 Crestliner Fishhawk 1600 with a 25 horse Johnson 3 cyl tiller. I love that boat. I'm sure its changed a lot since then. I'm actually going to sell mine this spring because I just bought a 17' Crestliner Sport Angler. I wish I could afford to keep both. My 16' is easy on gas, easy to tow, and easy to load and unload. It will do 25 MPH with just me in the boat.

You wont regret going with a Crestliner.

I used to have one, I think it may have been a 1650 but don't remember for sure. I liked it alot, it had a 40 horse 4 stroke on it, got great gas mileage. I sold it and bought a 1850 for bigger water.

I had a 1650 FishHawk with a 60hp Mercury for years. Great boat! I did everything and went just about everywhere with that. It was quick, light, and stable. Matter of fact, 80% of the time I wish I still had that boat. But, I guess every guy aspires to a bigger boat (1850 FishHawk) and motor (90hp tiller) at some point.

I have a 2001 fish hawk 1600 with a 50 HP yamaha 4 stroke, console steer LOVE IT.

You pretty much can not go wrong with crestliner!!

They really made that entry point Fishhawk pretty and a great value. It has a lot of space yet still looks easy to tow/maneuver.

I ALMOST pulled one home - but then picked up a used Alumacraft Pro T 175 Tiller.

Let us know your impressions when you get it in the water. It's right around the corner - well, at least after this next snowstorm blows thru.....

[LEECH21]

Can't wait to get her home and out on the water. Stupied snow!

Now that you have your new Crestliner remeber if you fish any tournament with 60 or more boats and win you will get $1,000 Check out the Anglers tour banner on the site!

Hey Leech did you happen to buy it in St. Cloud over the past week? If so, I saw it in the rig shop Saturday.

[bassNspear]

ahhh, glad that you both are part of our family with CPM

[Musky_Madness]

Nice read Bass! Good place!

[LEECH21]

Yes, I did get her from Crystal Pierz in St. Cloud. I was up on Saturday also to do the final paperwork. I was gonna pull it home, but the weather was crappy and the travel cover is on back order. I did get to see it though in their shop. Can't wait!

You buy a boat too?

[Musky_Madness]

We purchased a 1850 Fish Hawk Saturday with a 150 Opti. We were in the rig shop looking at a 1750 with Dual Consoles and yours was sitting in the rig shop next to it and a pontoon. We traded our Tracker in for it. The best move we ever made!

[LEECH21]

That 1850's gonna be sweet! One day I'll get there! I figured the 1600 is a good first boat.

[Musky_Madness]

Definitely a good first boat! We had to get a different boat in the past 2 years because the original "upgrade" was never an upgrade and we learned the hard way. The Fish Hawk series is great!

[bassNspear]

im glad to see that you bought your boats from our company, CPM, next time, you will have to come and see me, and say hi

[Musky_Madness]

Hopeflly that'll be many years down the road and I'll be visiting for my 1st Ranger

[bassNspear]

sorry, but your not going to find a new ranger at any CPM stores, as we no longer sell them. We sell tritons now

[Musky_Madness]

That's right...maybe a used one?

[LEECH21]

I as well hope that I don't have to buy another new boat for at least a little while

[bassNspear]

what style of boat are you looking for. Triton makes some awesome product as well!
