Crestliner Raptor 1750 TE SC 2011 vs Crestliner Sportfish 1850 Sterndrive 2004 - Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer - the Crestliner Raptor 1750 TE SC 2011 or the Crestliner Sportfish 1850 Sterndrive 2004?
For trailering, the Crestliner Raptor 1750 TE SC 2011 has the edge at 1 400 lbs dry weight versus 2 105 lbs for the Crestliner Sportfish 1850 Sterndrive 2004.

The Crestliner Raptor 1750 TE SC 2011 has a documented max rating of 140 hp. Engine specifications for the Crestliner Sportfish 1850 Sterndrive 2004 were not available in our database - check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Crestliner Raptor 1750 TE SC 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Crestliner Sportfish 1850 Sterndrive 2004 is certified for 7. 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 Raptor 1750 TE SC 2011 measures 96" wide, compared to 95" for the Crestliner Sportfish 1850 Sterndrive 2004. 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.

The Crestliner Sportfish 1850 Sterndrive 2004 has the bigger tank at 39 gallons, versus 33 gallons on the Crestliner Raptor 1750 TE SC 2011. That 6-gallon difference translates to roughly 18–30 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
