Crestliner Introduces The 1850 Raptor, In Casting And Trolling Editions

Whether you prefer trolling, jigging or casting, the all-new Crestliner 1850 Raptor--available in a Trolling Edition or Casting Edition and your choice of side console, dual console or walk-through with windshield consol--will elevate your fishing experience.

Like all Crestliner fishing boats, the new Raptor is purpose-built for fishing success and comfort. It's 18 feet, 7.75 inches long, making it perfect for trailering to all your favorite lakes. It has a 17 degree dead rise hull to cut through choppy water while keeping you dry.

The new 1850 Raptor Casting Edition features a huge bow casting platform that's perfect for casting the weed lines for lunker bass or trolling open water for monster muskie. The layout on the new 1850 Raptor Trolling Edition moves the helm and console forward, creating a larger cockpit area for landing fish while trolling or jigging.

Both models feature the Crestliner 4-piece hull, welded on both the interior and exterior, for outstanding durability and a smooth ride and quick planning. Whether you choose the Casting or Trolling Edition, the Raptor also gives you a choice of side console, dual console or walk-through design with windshield. They have roomy platforms and massive storage for clutter-free fishing, with up to 8 storage compartments, including a lockable under console storage drawers.

The list of standard features on both new Raptors is long and impressive. It includes Pro-Style seats, a raised baitwell and throw tray in the bow, uniquely designed storage compartments with slide-in tackle trays, 8 ft. lockable rod locker (7 ft. in the Trolling Edition), bow and stern livewells, 8' lockable side rod locker and an ice box.

The 1850 Raptors will handle outboards up to 175 HP, and are available with a wide variety of popular options, including custom graphics, vinyl flooring, snap-in carpet, wash-down system and Sony Stereo with CD player and iPod jack. Crestliner's industry-leading LIFETIME Plus 3 Protection Plan is included.
