THE MORE YOU SAY THE MORE WE UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT YOU ANYWAYS
Looks to me like a design that won't be able to fully use the potential of a 200 because the seating / weight when running is so far forward. The big back deck / forward running seating position is what makes most fish and ski boats perform so much less than their true bass boat cousins. Aluminum boats tend to porpoise anyway and I suspect this design will not be able to keep the bow up to get the hull out of the water for the best performance. With that said for guys who care more about a lot of storage and super wide decks all the way to the end and not so much on speed it looks like a winner! Kind of reminds me of a Jon boat / Bass boat hybrid style deck.
Had high hopes for this being my next boat. It had a lot of potential, but if it is just a mx21 with a couple feet cut off the front I am out.
I'm happy with my PT18 and 150 Pro XL. more than enough room for two on the front deck. hope they go with a different hull as the PT18's are like barges. I can get 50mph on a good day, but it's a smooth ride and I have lost the need for speed long ago. don't really like the compartments. I store my many tackle boxes in the center rod locker. the other two lockers are large enough to hold rods. I will be selling my boat because of medical issues if anyone is interested.
Well, I won this model in a contest, so I will give you guys some feedback when I get it. Here is the link to the preview that is not linked through their main website.

Hey guys, this was posted yesterday... https://www.crestliner.com/news/mx-1...nd-the-design/
I finally heard from the factory and they are saying the MX19 I won will be in production in late September. I'll keep you updated...
Sharp looking boat! The one thing I noticed, it looked a little tight behind the steering wheel. If he had some winter gear on, I think he (me) would have some issues getting in and out. That was the same issue I had when I sat in an Xpress Bass Boat. Just too tight for me behind the helm.

After seeing a video of it I have checked it off my list. The front deck looks odd to me. Like they ran in into a building to shorten it up. Why they didn't move the cockpit back and shorten the rear deck which would have maintained the front deck length is beyond me.
Yeah it will be interesting to see how it looks in person. In the video the MX19 is pulled up further than the 21, so the side-by-side visual is a little skewed. I'm excited to see what they roll out next Thursday, or if their are any differences. I just can't wait to get it!
Front deck too small for a 19 ft'er.
I'll keep my Polarkraft. really spaciously laid out in front/mid/& rear.

Well it was officially released yesterday. While the deck does look short and the console in the middle of the boat, I think it will work from me coming from an Fisher 18FX fiberglass boat. Some of the images in the video make it look like a traditional bass boat, and so not so much. Regardless, I'm excited to get it!
