Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crestliner C 1652 VS 2004 vs Crestliner CR 1648 MT 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crestliner C 1652 VS 2004 vs Crestliner CR 1648 MT 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 50 hp for the Crestliner C 1652 VS 2004 and 35 hp for the Crestliner CR 1648 MT 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Crestliner C 1652 VS 2004 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Crestliner CR 1648 MT 2007 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crestliner C 1652 VS 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner C 1652 VS 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 5 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crestliner CR 1648 MT 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
