Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 vs Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 is a modified-V design and the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 at 20,0 ft versus Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 at 19,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 tips the scales at 1 630 lbs - 265 lbs less than the Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 at 1 365 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 has a 110-hp advantage over the Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008's 90-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 19,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 vs Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 or the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012?
The Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 is the longer of the two at 20,0 feet overall. The Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 comes in at 19,6 feet, making it roughly 0,4 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 or the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012?
For trailering, the Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 has the edge at 1 365 lbs dry weight versus 1 630 lbs for the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 is rated to a maximum of 200 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 tops out at 90 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 is certified for 8. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 measures 99" wide, compared to 91" for the Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 and Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Crestliner C 2070 VS 2008 and the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed 2012 are built by Crestliner. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
