Crestliner tournament series?
I was just wondering what people think of the crestliner 202 ts and how they ride in rugh water?
I believe in the 202TS the live well will be in the back-which might not be such a pain having a full windsheild then depending on where you do most your fishing at in your boat. I would say full windsheild warmer and dryer
if you have the 20 ft superhawk, the ride will be pretty much the same as the TS. the TS has a thicker hull but the same hull design. also, depending on how you rig the boat weight wise, will make a difference in how it takes the water. along with what prop you run, what postition ( hole) you have the engine mounted etc etc. also, what are you calling rough water. inland waters or the greatlakes etc when it's blowing 20+ mph. my C-liner TS is a wet ride on the greatlakes, but it's always gotten me to where i needed to be even in 8+ ft seas over the years. and i'm talking some really long runs not just a few miles.
no i have a 16 ft superhawk im am lookin to upgrade to a boat for bigger waters and tournaments
I would suggest the Walk Through as well.
In the 202 it is not in the way and keeps you much drier. Yes, it is a boat and you will get wet, but as stated above, you will get home everytime.
I hae been using the 202 for 5 years now and could not be happier with teh way they fish. Tracking is unreal when trolling, they drift really nice and keeping one on the spot with the trolling motor is a dream as well.
The front deck is large and has enough storage for the worst tackle addicts out there. The cockpit has more than enough room to troll for days with nothing in your way.
There are not a ton of extras on the Crestlienr, but that means less to go wrong. Less time fixing and more time fishing.
Great boats, you will not regret the investment.
Have you considerd the 1850 raptor this boat has a realy cool layout and wouldent handle much wose than the tournement 202 you would save some money I ordered mine with a 175 e-tech should be here soon
another question. should i get a dual counsol or a walk thru windsheild? I have a super hawk with a walk thru witch can be a pain some times beacause the live well is up front>
Nothing beats a big ol' marble eye
