Tahoe,
I purchased an 1850 Fishhawk Muskie Edition this Spring.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is 18ft 3 inches w/ a 95 1/2 inch beam.  Very stable boat.  Laid out great for Muskies or anything else.  It is rated for 150 hp, I put a 115 Yamaha 4-stroke on mine.  People said, "don't do it, it will be underpowered!".  They were wrong.  People said, "You will get wet from the rough ride!"  They were wrong.  I have had mine on some big water, (Leech, Mille Lacs) in wind, and had no need for a rain suit.  Alot of it depends on who's driving.  
I owned two Lunds before going to the Crestliner.  Both Lunds were great boats, but so is the Crestliner.  I chose the Muskie Edition because it is laid out so much better than anything else that I looked at.  The 1850 has a 31 gallon gas tank that is located in the center of the boat under the floor, as compared to the 1750 which has the tank in the rear near the transom.  I think it makes a difference in the handling.  A friend of mine has a 1750 and he couldn't believe how mine handled compared to his.
So far, I can say that I would buy another Crestliner in a heartbeat.  Just wish I had more time on the water to enjoy it.  Just find what best fits your needs, and it will be the perfect Muskie boat, that's what I did.
If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me.
