Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004 vs Crestliner Super Hawk 1800 - Opened 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004 vs Crestliner Super Hawk 1800 - Opened 2012 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 175 hp, the Crestliner Super Hawk 1800 - Opened 2012 has a 95-hp advantage over the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004's 80-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 1800 - Opened 2012 carries 33 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004. 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 1800 - Opened 2012 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004 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 1800 - Opened 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner Super Hawk 1800 - Opened 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 18,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crestliner Fish Hawk 1750 Tiller 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
