The Crest II LE 30 2008 vs Crest Savannah LST 27 2007 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 Savannah LST 27 2007 measures 27,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 24,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crest II LE 30 2008 at 3,0 feet (2008). At 283 lbs and 345 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Crest II LE 30 2008 and 150 hp for the Crest Savannah LST 27 2007. 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 18 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 Savannah LST 27 2007 at 27,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Crest II LE 30 2008 at 3,0 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.
