Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crestliner 1660 Retriever Jon Deluxe 2021 vs Crestliner CR 1852 MT 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crestliner 1660 Retriever Jon Deluxe 2021 vs Crestliner CR 1852 MT 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.
The Crestliner CR 1852 MT 2005 tops out at 45 hp. Engine specs for the Crestliner 1660 Retriever Jon Deluxe 2021 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Crestliner CR 1852 MT 2005 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Crestliner 1660 Retriever Jon Deluxe 2021 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crestliner CR 1852 MT 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner CR 1852 MT 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
