I have it down to a 1750 Crestliner Fish Hawk with a 115 Yamaha 4-sroke OR a Warrior V177 SC Hawk with a 90 Mercury 4-stroke.What do you think? [::)]

I would get the fishhawk. I have seen the warrior layouts and I am not a fan. Nice walleye boats though.

Todd is right. Warrior makes a great boat that is laid out for fishing 'eyes. In my opinion, the FishHawk has the best layout for chasin' 'skies.

My final 2 choices after 6 months of homework were a Crestliner Fishhawk and Tuffy. I chose the Tuffy, and I am thrilled with it. I really did alot of research. Talked with dozens of guides, owners of both brands, and spent alot of time comparing features that each had. I think for an Aluminum boat the Fishhawk would be a good choice. But after taking my Tuffy out last week in 20-25 mph winds it was fantastic. Fiberglass Deep V was outstanding. Ride in a Tuffy with a strong wind and you would agree. Alot of other considerations I know, but for me and my two young boys it has it all. Good luck with your decision, I know it was alot of work for me, but I couldn't be happier.

The Esox Deep V series of Tuffy boats is also designed with the muskie fisherman in mind with the large livewell and "walk around" interior. Tuffy boats are by far a better ride in rough water.

I own a 1890 Warrior Falcon BT. I personaly think this boat is laid out great for muskie fishing. I fish for muskies mainly. The boat is low enough for figure eights and all of that. The new ones will be a bit deeper this year. The 2002 models have a 25 inch transom. The falcon series has the carpeted gunels not the fiberglass like in the Eagle series. Let me know if you have other questions about the Warriors.

Teck,
Instead of the 1750, you may want to consider the 1850 FishHawk. The main reason being, that the 1850 has the gas tank under the floor in the middle of the boat, and the 1750 has the gas tank in the back of the boat. Better weight distribution on the 1850. At least this is what I have been told. It might not be noticelable in the performance. Just my 2 cents worth.
