Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 vs Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 against a deep vee Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 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 Tournament 202 WT 2012 measures 20,2 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 at 16,7 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 tips the scales at 1 425 lbs — 1 319 lbs less than the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 at 106 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 250 hp, the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 has a 160-hp advantage over the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 carries 6 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 6 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 Tournament 202 WT 2012 at 20,2 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 at 16,7 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.

Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 vs Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 or the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012?
The Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 is the longer of the two at 20,2 feet overall. The Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 comes in at 16,7 feet, making it roughly 3,5 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 or the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012?
For trailering, the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 has the edge at 106 lbs dry weight versus 1 425 lbs for the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 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 Tournament 202 WT 2012 is rated to a maximum of 250 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 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 Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 is certified for 6. 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 Tournament 202 WT 2012 measures 101" wide, compared to 86" for the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011. 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.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 or the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012?
The Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 has the bigger tank at 6 gallons, versus 2 gallons on the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011. That 4-gallon difference translates to roughly 12–20 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 and Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 DC 2011 and the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 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.
