NEW YORK MILLS, Minn. (September 29, 2026) – Crestliner Boats, a brand of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC), today unveiled its 2027 lineup, highlighted by the Commander, the versatile 1850 Hawk and the all-new RB-X. Together, the models showcase Crestliner's Built For This platform, reflecting the brand's commitment to delivering purpose-built boats designed for the way customers fish, hunt and spend time on the water.

"Anglers aren't looking for a one-size-fits-all solution," said Jason Oakes, general manager of Crestliner Boats. "They want a boat designed for how and where they use it. The 2027 lineup reflects that approach, with models built to excel in a variety of conditions and experiences, from big-water fishing and family outings to hunting and coastal pursuits.”

Commander: Confidence for Big Water

Built for anglers who regularly face challenging conditions, the redesigned 1850 and 2050 Commander along with the new Commander Hardtop combines a spacious cockpit with a hardtop featuring sliding windows, windshield wipers and integrated interior lighting. Its deep-V hull and durable construction provide the capability and protection needed for extended days on large lakes and rivers, allowing anglers to stay focused on the fishing rather than the forecast. Also new for 2027 is the 2050 Commander XL with an 80-gallon livewell.  The 80-gallon livewell is the perfect setup for catfish or striper and Great Lake salmon or walleye fishing.  These new commanders retain Crestliner’s Space Saving Transom (SST) while also feature a self-bailing bow.

1850 Hawk: Versatility for Fishing and Family

The 1850 Hawk delivers a balance of fishing functionality and family-friendly comfort on the award-winning AP-X hull. Thoughtful features include generous rod storage, a large livewell, hidden storage compartments, optional bow cushions, and a spacious bow casting deck provide flexibility for a wide range of activities. With power ratings up to 150 horsepower, the Hawk is designed to help owners make the most of every day on the water.

RB-X: A New Bay Boat Built for Multi-Species Adventure

The all-new RB-X expands Crestliner's lineup with a bay boat focused design for anglers and hunters seeking versatility, performance and value. Available in 18-foot and 20-foot configurations, the center console RB-X features integrated rod storage, rear jump seats, and SoftStep ReFlex premium flooring available. There’s also an optional T-top for the 20-foot model with a horsepower rating of up to 150 hp, the new RB-X delivers the capability needed for a variety of coastal and inland pursuits.
