anyone out there own one of these boats. can you give me the good and the bad. i think the lowes is 18' and the crestliner is 17'3" but it is 3" wider than the lowes. both have 115 hp. which one would take on rough water better. lowes beam is 85" and the crestliner beam is 88". at times i would be on some fairly large lakes. is the crestliner maybe too small for larger bodies of water. what do you guys think. thanks guys
keep working,your neighbor thanks you
I ran a 2002 Lowe 180w for about 5 years several years back. Storage is a little tight, I used the front live well as storage. It had a 115 Merc on it. At that time I was fishing once a week 9 months out of the year, so I put it through it's paces. It held up good. Of course it had it's short comings but non the less I really enjoyed it. Very fuel efficient rig.
