Little Falls, Minn., Jan. 9, 2013 - Crestliner is proud to announce major
improvements for the 2013 model year to three of its popular boat families.
From thoughtful Super Hawk and Sportsman design and feature enhancements to the
introduction of the brand-new 17 Storm to Crestliner's Mod-V Storm series, this
all-new 2013 line-up is sure to give anglers and active families alike the
perfect platform to hit the water and fully embrace everything it has to offer.
Through extensive internal testing, research and insightful customer feedback,
Crestliner was able to make these already great boat lines even better. The
Storm family welcomed the brand-new 17 Storm, designed with versatility and a
value price in mind. The 2013 Super Hawks, newly named as the 1650, 1750, 1850
and 1950 models, boast
improved appearance, comfort, safety, convenience and
overall fishability. The all-new Sportsman series provides anglers with a
rugged, all-conditions utility boat, with a new hull design born of Crestliner's
industry-leading welded construction methods.
"Because our customers are the people who actually get out there and put our
boats to action, they are our No. 1 resource when it comes to enhancing our
boats," said Ben Cast, president of Crestliner. "They know the sport of fishing
and what it takes to find angling success out on the water. Outstanding
durability, superior construction and exceptional performance are some of the
key qualities for a solid fishing boat you can count on. By listening closely
to their valuable feedback, our all-new 2013 Crestliner models reflect our
commitment to our customers and to building strong, serious fishing boats. When
it comes to wrangling in those trophy catches, rest assured, we've got your
back, with our 2013 boat line-up."
