Matching a deep vee Crestliner Raptor 1750 SC 2012 against a modified vee Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Crestliner Raptor 1750 SC 2012 at 17,7 ft versus Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 2011 at 19,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 2011 tips the scales at 163 lbs — 149 lbs less than the Crestliner Raptor 1750 SC 2012 at 14 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 Super Hawk 1900 2011 has a 50-hp advantage over the Crestliner Raptor 1750 SC 2012's 150-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 Raptor 1750 SC 2012 carries 33 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 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 1900 2011 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Crestliner Raptor 1750 SC 2012 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 1900 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crestliner Raptor 1750 SC 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
