Location: Stevens Point, WI | I went through the same analysis (Lund Angler or Crestliner 1750). I ended up buying the Lund Angler 1700 SS. I was impressed by the Crestliner storage and layout, and it had a bigger livewell. What sold it for me (IMHO) was the Lund fit and finish, semi-water tight storage, and lower side wall height (especially in the back...easier to release fish). The slight difference in width was a moot point to me. With respect to the livewell, the Crestliner's would have been nicer than the 44" livewell in my Angler, but I've only had to put one musky in my livewell over the past 18 years (out of 400+ caught and released). From a cost standpoint, it was a wash for me. I got a very good price on my Angler that actually ended up slightly cheaper than what I would of paid for the Fishhawk from my local Crestliner dealer. |
