The Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed with Bench 2012 is a deep-V design and the Crestliner Super Hawk Series 1900 2009 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 1900 - Closed with Bench 2012 at 19,6 ft versus Crestliner Super Hawk Series 1900 2009 at 19,0 ft. At 1 630 lbs and 1 630 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 200 hp for the Crestliner Super Hawk 1900 - Closed with Bench 2012 and 200 hp for the Crestliner Super Hawk Series 1900 2009. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 40 gal and 40 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 8 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.
