Matching a deep vee Crestliner Pro Tiller 1750 2013 against a modified vee Crestliner Sportfish 1950 SST 2011 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 Sportfish 1950 SST 2011 measures 20,6 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crestliner Pro Tiller 1750 2013 at 17,5 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crestliner Sportfish 1950 SST 2011 tips the scales at 185 lbs — 174 lbs less than the Crestliner Pro Tiller 1750 2013 at 11 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 200 hp, the Crestliner Sportfish 1950 SST 2011 has a 110-hp advantage over the Crestliner Pro Tiller 1750 2013'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 Pro Tiller 1750 2013 carries 24 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Crestliner Sportfish 1950 SST 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 Sportfish 1950 SST 2011 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Crestliner Pro Tiller 1750 2013 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crestliner Sportfish 1950 SST 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner Sportfish 1950 SST 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 20,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crestliner Pro Tiller 1750 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
