Matching a deep vee Crestliner Super Hawk 1600 - Opened 2012 against a modified vee Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 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 Tournament 202 WT 2011 measures 20,2 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crestliner Super Hawk 1600 - Opened 2012 at 16,3 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2011 tips the scales at 1 425 lbs — 1 424 lbs less than the Crestliner Super Hawk 1600 - Opened 2012 at 1 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 250 hp, the Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2011 has a 160-hp advantage over the Crestliner Super Hawk 1600 - Opened 2012'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 Tournament 202 WT 2011 carries 6 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Crestliner Super Hawk 1600 - Opened 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Crestliner Tournament 202 WT 2011 at 20,2 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Crestliner Super Hawk 1600 - Opened 2012 at 16,3 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
