The Crestliner Super Hawk 1650 2013 is a deep-V design and the Crestliner XCR 1667V 2010 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 Super Hawk 1650 2013 at 16,3 ft versus Crestliner XCR 1667V 2010 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crestliner Super Hawk 1650 2013 tips the scales at 1 000 lbs - 725 lbs more than the Crestliner XCR 1667V 2010 at 275 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 90 hp, the Crestliner Super Hawk 1650 2013 has a 70-hp advantage over the Crestliner XCR 1667V 2010's 20-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 Super Hawk 1650 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Crestliner XCR 1667V 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crestliner Super Hawk 1650 2013 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Crestliner Super Hawk 1650 2013 comes in at 11 lbs per hp versus 14 lbs per hp for the Crestliner XCR 1667V 2010. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration - meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
