Location: Waterford & Boulder Junction | In 2001 I bought a Crestliner CVX 182. This was a purpose built aluminum musky boat with an entire boat casting deck, 2 livewells with 1 at least 50" long, and sidewalls about 4" lower than the standard Crestliner Fishhawk series boat.
Similiar boats in the day were the Ranger Cherokee, Alumacraft Phantom, and the Basstracker V18.
Crestliner dropped the CVX series and focused on the Fishhawk series with the Musky Edition only to reintroduce the CMV series which was very similar to the
CVX. For 2008, Crestliner has again dropped that style of boat and only offers the Fishhawk series.
I was looking into replacing my CVX, but I don't think there is an aluminum boat made today that can compare to it. It seems that the aluminum boat manufacturers aren't interested in building a musky only boat.
For $10,000.00, you should be able to buy a used boat mentioned above and if you can't find one, a Crestliner Fishhawk would be my choice.
