Have you ridden in a Crestliner on a fairly rough windy day? I would suggest doing that before you buy one. I had an 1850 Sportfish for 9 yrs, fished Lake of the Woods a lot. This was a 2001 model that I bought new, but I do not think the hull design has changed much since then, could be wrong, but that thing was a one VERY wet ride. Look at the rear of the hull and the size of the spray rails on the Crestliner, Alumacraft, and Lund and you will see more flare to the hull and larger spray rails on the Alumacraft and Lund, which should give a drier ride. Don't know anything about the Lowe. After my Crestliner I bought a Ranger Reata 1850, which was a lot better, and now have a 620, which is great on big lakes like LOTW. If staying with aluminum, I would get the Lund or Alumacraft.
