Matching a modified vee Crestliner C 2070 V 2007 against a deep vee Crestliner Raptor 1850 WT 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Crestliner Raptor 1850 WT 2013 measures 18,7 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 16,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crestliner C 2070 V 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). At 134 lbs and 147 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 Crestliner Raptor 1850 WT 2013 has a 140-hp advantage over the Crestliner C 2070 V 2007's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 7 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 Crestliner Raptor 1850 WT 2013 at 18,7 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Crestliner C 2070 V 2007 at 2,0 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.
