Well I didn't plan on buying a boat this weekend but looks like I did. Never had a Crestliner before so this should be interesting.

That's a nice rig with a decent floor plan, you'll enjoy it! Post some pics when you get time!

I have a 2003 1650. These are big boats for 16 footers. Way wider than most. I had mine out in 4 foot waves casting today no problem. You will love that boat. The layout is simple, well planned and it has very good storage. Make sure you put at least 65 lb thrust troll motor on it. A 12 v tm is too small for this boat in moderate wind IMO.

Looking forward to getting this one on the water. It's an out of state boat so I paid for it and stored it. No room at home with all the family vehicles and another boat. Will have to wait for the spring. uuggg 6 months.

I'll have to fix the tach .. not working. Need to checkout wiring and the guage itself. It has a 36lb Minnkota that I know I'll replace but I have a birthday and Christmas coming up

One more trip with the old boat to Park Rapids MN for a few days starting this weekend. Can't wait.
