Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crestliner CR 1648M 2012 vs Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crestliner CR 1648M 2012 vs Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 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 35 hp, the Crestliner CR 1648M 2012 has a 27-hp advantage over the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004's 8-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 Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Crestliner CR 1648M 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 Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 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 1648M 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.
