Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 vs Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 against a deep vee Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 at 16,7 ft versus Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 at 18,8 ft. At 106 lbs and 165 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 Super Hawk 1850 2013 has a 110-hp advantage over the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 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 Super Hawk 1850 2013 carries 37 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 18,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 vs Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 or the Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013?
The Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 is the longer of the two at 18,8 feet overall. The Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 comes in at 16,7 feet, making it roughly 2,1 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 or the Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013?
For trailering, the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 has the edge at 106 lbs dry weight versus 165 lbs for the Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013. 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 1850 2013 is rated to a maximum of 200 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 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 WT 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 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 1850 2013 measures 94" wide, compared to 86" for the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 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 WT 2011 or the Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013?
The Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 has the bigger tank at 37 gallons, versus 2 gallons on the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011. That 35-gallon difference translates to roughly 105–175 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 and Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1650 WT 2011 and the Crestliner Super Hawk 1850 2013 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.
