We have a Crestliner 1850 Fish Hawk. Great boat, great layout, HUGE casting deck up front and the one in the back is excellent as well. I can get the boat in just about anywhere. Storage is a little lacking, but with a bit of creativity you can stash things in various places (e.g., livewell holds extra tackle storage, extension cord, misc. clothes kept in Ziploc bags, etc.). I've had it on big water like Mille Lacs and Lake of the Woods down to small <100 acre lakes. You're not going to get the super comfy ride of a glass boat, but it will get the job done. Best part, if I scrape the sides on a piece of metal at a dock or on a rock at our shore lunch location... I don't care! We run a 135 Opti on ours with a 9.9 kicker. At WOT speed is about 42-44 depending on weight with stock aluminum prop. I wouldn't go anything less than a 115 on this boat.
