Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 vs Crestliner VT 19 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 vs Crestliner VT 19 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Crestliner VT 19 2013 has a 25-hp advantage over the Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004's 125-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 Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 carries 17 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Crestliner VT 19 2013. 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 1700 O/B 2004 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Crestliner VT 19 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crestliner Super Hawk 1700 O/B 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crestliner VT 19 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
