The Crest Fisherman DL 1800 2004 vs Crest Wave Fish V210 CC 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Crest Wave Fish V210 CC 2013 measures 21,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crest Fisherman DL 1800 2004 at 18,0 feet (2004). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crest Wave Fish V210 CC 2013 tips the scales at 2 302 lbs — 2 127 lbs less than the Crest Fisherman DL 1800 2004 at 175 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 75 hp for the Crest Fisherman DL 1800 2004 and 90 hp for the Crest Wave Fish V210 CC 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
Both boats are rated for 11 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Crest Wave Fish V210 CC 2013 at 21,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Crest Fisherman DL 1800 2004 at 18,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
