Behind the Build: Introducing the 2200 Bay Boat

comment

Innovation runs deep at Crestliner. We’ve been building boats for discerning consumers for nearly seventy years. From our all-welded hulls and legendary construction to innovations like the conversion bow and reverse chines.

This tradition continues in 2013 at Crestliner, which will see the release of the Crestliner 2200 Bay Boat, our first-ever Deep-V intercoastal boat. With our legendary Build Right philosophy informing its creation we’re extremely proud to offer this boat to our coastal audiences.

It’s safe to say that we’ve seen many generations of boating families come and go. But by and large, people look to Crestliner not because of the latest technology or gadget. They look to Crestliner because it’s a boat they’ll pass on to their grandchildren one day and it’s a willing partner in great boating adventures—no matter where. More recently in our history, we’ve seen great success in the Mod-V category. People in other regions are beginning to understand the legacy of Crestliner boats and appreciate the lasting value, quality and best-in-class warranty that comes standard with every boat.

We’ve spent a great deal of time and energy not just building a boat, but building the right boat. In bringing the 2200 Bay to life, we worked with dealers, we fished with commercial fisherman and we canvassed marinas. All this to make sure that the boat we build is the boat anglers are looking for.

KEY FEATURES

  • STABLE DEEP-V HULL DESIGN—Crestliner’s proven Deep-V hull design not only creates more on-board space, it adds greatly to overall stability and safety in more open and rough water.
  • SELF-BAILING HULL—A Crestliner-exclusive, the Bay 2200 features self-bailing scuppers in transom, limiting the use of bilge pump and saving on battery life.
  • MORE SPACE, WHERE IT MATTERS—More room in almost every key area, including an 11” wider cockpit and wider beam and bottom width, creates larger deck space and increases fishability.
  •  A LARGE, CONVENIENT CONSOLE—At 49 cu. feet, the console area is nearly twice the size of its closest competitor and packed with fisherman-friendly  features.

You can now see the 2200 Bay Boat on our website, and on select dealer floors in the coming months, but we wanted to share the news with our loyal and dedicated fanbase as soon as we could. This is a big step for Crestliner and it’s one we hope certain anglers look into to meet their near-shore boating needs.

Four All-New Super Hawks Hit the Water

comment

2013 is starting off bigger and better than ever with four all-new Super Hawk models in
the Crestliner family—the 1650, 1750, 1850 (replacing the 1800) and 1950.

Boaters of all kind have long loved Super Hawks for their versatility. So however you
relax on the water you can be sure there’s a model fit for your lifestyle. Increased cockpit
space and amenities like auto-style console design, taller freeboards and deep-welled bow
storage make the 2013 Super Hawk lineup our strongest ever.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for a boat with superior recreation and fishing capabilities
and famous Crestliner comfort, the Super Hawk should figure high on your list.

A New Standard In Performance

comment


Anglers have come to expect a lot from our Storm series. And rightfully so. With its
rock-solid ride and legendary mod-v fishability, the Storm Series has always been a go-
to for those demanding performance and proven design. With the introduction of the all-
new 2013 Storm 17 we’re happy to report the bar has been raised.

More storage space, more casting room and better casting views—and that’s just the
bow. Moving back, there’s the large 22-gallon livewell that makes access a breeze. At the
stern, we’ve integrated a new permanent fuel tank and deluxe padded seats.

Bottom line: The new Storm 17’ has evolved in all the right ways, making it an attractive
mod-v choice for those looking for the perfect combination of functionality, storage and
performance.

Welcome a New Workhorse Into Your Lineup

All-new for 2013, the Sportsman Series has been redesigned from the keel up to match
the fishing needs—and budgets—of boaters everywhere. Available in 12-, 14- and 16-
foot lengths, we’ve improved these dependable, easy-handling boats with features every
boater can appreciate.

Seating and storage are huge factors when considering a boat. That’s why the 2013
Sportsman Models have more seating and storage options than ever. When it comes to
performance, we even redesigned the fully-welded hull with full-length strakes to give
you better performance and a drier ride.

Bottom line: With a slew of new performance and comfort features, the Sportsman has
never been a better option for those who expect a little bit more our of their boat and
dollar.
