I think he likes the Tracker best.

I have read a few comments and find it to be a little biased. I’ve been in both, and currently run the Crestliner. The weld trumps rivits. Transom is welded inside and out. I researched for a year and a half, Crestliner won me over for some of the same reasons you mentioned. Good stuff, thanks!

Great job on the review. Covered the stuff I wanted to know. The wooden deck thing is true, my Bass Tracker is 21 years old, and I was fixing some wiring underneath the deck and I realized the wood was rooting. At least I can still fish out of it.

Good review. Hit the nail on the head on most of it. I feel Lund is the name that has been around forever, and you pay for it. Some of their trim on similar boats to the Crestliner might be a little more plush, however I am on my second Crestliner, and I could not fathom the cost difference for the same type boat versus the Lund. I always get told by dealerships that Brunswick uses the Crestliner as the "family fishing boat" and price points it less, and Lund for the "enthusiast fisher", and relies on the brand name loyalty.

I’ll take a wooden floor and transom Lund any day over a Tracker boat. I owned a new Tracker and the hull cracked in 4 different places. I now have a older Lund and it built like a tank

Trackers are the K-mart brand of boats IMO

Wood does rot but takes longer and easy to replace. Welds can crack and rivets can leak. Which is easier to fix? Pick your pains.

You don’t like wooden decks? What about your Tracker? It has pressure treated plywood (better than marine plywood) and a lifetime warranty on the deck. I too have a Tracker PT175TXW. The wooden decks don’t bother me though I do wish they were aluminum. If I ever have to replace the carpet I may coat the wood on all sides with fiberglass.

The main reason I make these videos is to educate people before they buy. We were not educated enough when we made our purchase. Thanks for watching!🔥

Wife and I just went through the exercise of comparing Crestliner's 1650 Fishhawk and the Lund 1775 Adventure Sport. They were both nice boats but my wife liked the Lund and it was a bigger boat for the same price so we purchased the Lund. Besides, I'm a fan of riveted boats, having owned an Alumacraft for 33 years which is still leak-free and in excellent condition. For another $6000, The Crestliner Fishhawk 1750 was priced similar to the Lund Impact 1775 but the Impact was better equipped for the same money.

I personally own a Crestliner, but, Lund does offer a 1650 Rebel XL with a 40 hp Merc for $17,697 per their website as of today.

I know this video was uploaded nearly 2 years ago, but speaking to the "why would you downgrade to a 20hp" comment at aroun 6minutes in - I would do this, because I live in SW PA, and most of our "lakes" are HP restricted to 20hp by the PA fish & game commission, so a 20HP would make PERFECT sense for us.

I've owned aluminum bass boats with wood decking and some with aluminum decking. In the Summer time aluminum decking gets very hot and noisy even with carpet. Wood is much cooler. If stored properly, A good quality wood deck can last the life of the boat.

this man just said a Honda is higher quality. You have to pay extra because merc and these two company's are under the umbrella of Brunswick. Who also owns a lot more boat brands and Atwood marine. It costs more because you have to go out of the Brunswick umbrella so they make it cheaper so you buy from one of their company's.

Funny I found out that Crestliner and Lund are built in the same factory at New York Mills Minnesota. Guess it’s the difference between buying a gmc or Chevy. Take your pick I’m sure there both excellent boats.

@jerry, the welded boats are easier to clean because the hull is smooth. they look better too.

No screws are rivets wanted in a boat hull are furniture here in east Texas the stumps will beat them out

In the boat comparison you compared a modified v boat to a deep v boat. Not sure why.

This is some of the most false info I’ve ever seen in a single video. Lund does have full aluminum decking with a far superior water channeling system for dry storage, the Composite transom are awesome, for smaller boats riveted is every bit as good. Heck ranger tracker ect have pulled facebook groups over cracked welds. Also your quote of Lunda Bass boats starting at a base price of 40K is about double what they are. No issues with Crestliner but this is obviously a very bias review from someone favoring a type of boat similar to his tracker.

I was considering taking my Crestliner to Florida with me and fishing saltwater with it. Was wondering what the deck was made of as pressure treated wood and salt don't mix. Now I know so all I need is to sell my trailer for a galvanized or aluminum one and I'm all good. Thanks! Other than the stupid Idea of carpet in a boat I can't see anything on the down side of one of these boats in salt water as long as you understand about Saltwater issues. Hope my carpet get eaten so I have a reason to tear it out.

Tracker has wooden decking also

But aren't trackers are wood?

I prefer welded myself. The Titanic was riveted. Theres a reason why ship builders switched from riveted to welded decades ago. Both are great boats and are sister companies. I own a CRESTLINER 1750 Super Hawk Platinum and I love it.

Pros n cons to everything. Ex. rivets can flex to an extend when going through rough waters. Welds cant and can crack over time. Is weld stronger yes but doesn't flex.

Rivets are better than welded rivets don’t crack like welds and it cost more to repair a cracked welding than a rivet

Crestliner Just Jumped To 1st Place For MY Personal Interest Of What Muskie/Bass Fishing Boat Im Going To Buy👍 Welded Vs Rivets🤔 Easy Decision 🤷

I own a 2004 Crestliner 1850 Fish Hawk. Has wood floor and aluminum hatches. Wood is only complaint. Far superior fishability to a lund. I am trading it in for a new 1850 Fish Hawk. 4 stroke motor, (previous 2 stroke), front and rear decks are much higher(more fishable than '04 model), and a second council. If I could afford it I'd keep my '04 as a trolling boat and the new for casting. I have been a guide since the late 90's and have been in a ton of boats as a foreman at a marina. Crestliner is putting out the best aluminum these days. I can't speak for the triangle hull boat line("backwater boats") those hulls suck across all brands for my application and from my experience. When I bought boats for a rental fleet I was limited by dealership agreements and had alumicraft. Not bad. If you don't like their trim, get a G3. Same boats just finished nicer. When it comes to aluminum I choose crestliner. With this most recent purchase, my family came in to invest into business and it increased my buying ability greatly, I still choose a Crestliner! The fish hawk hull can handle it all like a Cadillac and then fish like a bass boat once on location. As far as rigging, I like to choose my stuff. I will buy electronics and have marine install. I don't mind that Crestliners are mostly rigged with mercury motors. Mercury are rock solid. The big foot or large diameter gear case is nearly indestructible. Really, had these on rental units and they kept on the water all season for many years, talking thousands of hours not hundreds per season. I also have had good experiences with yamaha and suzuki.

composite is great, strong and never corrodes. think guns. look at glocks, sigsm cz. lots of polymer composites used

yamaha or suzuki only

I was intrigued this was broken down into 3 categories & you started at the 3rd one. Really sent me for a loop

Used is the only way I buy! Why take a huge hit if you have the cash you can buy for almost half the price for a good used one a few years old.

transom rot is gone with lunds. also with welds, if you have to get a weld repair, you’re toast. it’ll never be factory fresh for a good repair. pop a rivet and go

I'm sorry but Crestliner paint scratches way too easily and if anything rubs on it it takes paint right off. My boat a 2020 Brand New 2000 Bay boat was recalled last year under warranty to correct the deck and the hull paint peeling. Crestliner has had my boat for over 160 days and it has still not been returned to me. Yes, I'm still making payments every month while they have my boat.

People buy trackers due to the price. And there ok. If your wealthy get a crestliner.

I am buying a Lund 1775 Adventure. It has no wood

You have a tracker and trackers have wood decks

So 16k for Crestline, and 22k for Lund...a 5 thousand dollars difference? Guess you flunked math! Lol

Not true, the Lund is almost as good as a Crestliner. Tracker is the “budget” model. Very fishable for the price point though.

To much misinformation. A(proper) weld is superior to a rivet. Rivets flex over time and *expand* (Proper) welds do not flex over time and do not expand. Aluminum that is prone to high stress will flex, but if properly welded will hold its shape over time. The same cannot be said for rivets. Lund uses .080 gauge aluminum bottom and 0.063 freeboard Crestliner uses .090 gauge aluminum and .080 freeboard At the end of the day whether or not you want to hear this (Lund fan boys) lund is over priced and not worth the extra money for its reputation and quality, those are the facts. You can get the same quailty boat if not better for almost half the price. Most of the time lund is a more money then brains, brand loyal purchase. It's like buying a Porsche/mastari/Bentley over the common brands such as gmc/dodge/ford. In todays economy the consumer should be advocating for some competitive pricing, but we the consumer just buy and go on with our day to day lives..... Your welcome.

I’ve web to the factory and both boats are built at and there is a reason the Lund cost more. Its better built and they also go through way more testing than Crestliner, but when you buy a Lund you get what you pay for.

@@badmoonryzin7251 That tells you a lot right there. There is a reason why the workers at the factory choose Crestliner 2:1 over Lund. Personally, I owned three different riveted boats that developed leaks under the driver's seat after fishing hard on Lake Erie. I now own a Crestliner Fish Hawk (year 5) and love it. No leaks and no issues!!

And there's a reason why airplanes are riveted just saying.
