Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crestliner CR 1448M 2012 vs Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crestliner CR 1448M 2012 vs Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 125 hp, the Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 has a 100-hp advantage over the Crestliner CR 1448M 2012's 25-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 1700 O/B 2004 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Crestliner CR 1448M 2012 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crestliner CR 1448M 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
