The Crest Savannah LST 27 2007 vs Crest Ultra 27 2005 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Crest Savannah LST 27 2007 at 27,0 ft versus Crest Ultra 27 2005 at 27,0 ft. At 345 lbs and 375 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Crest Ultra 27 2005 has a 50-hp advantage over the Crest Savannah LST 27 2007's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Crest Ultra 27 2005 and its 200-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Crest Savannah LST 27 2007 with its 150-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
