The Crestliner Raptor 1750 WT 2013 is a deep-V design and the Crestliner Retriever Jon 2070 2012 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 WT 2013 at 17,7 ft versus Crestliner Retriever Jon 2070 2012 at 20,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crestliner Raptor 1750 WT 2013 tips the scales at 1 400 lbs - 690 lbs more than the Crestliner Retriever Jon 2070 2012 at 710 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 150 hp, the Crestliner Raptor 1750 WT 2013 has a 75-hp advantage over the Crestliner Retriever Jon 2070 2012's 75-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Crestliner Retriever Jon 2070 2012 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Crestliner Raptor 1750 WT 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 Retriever Jon 2070 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner Retriever Jon 2070 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crestliner Raptor 1750 WT 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.
