Crestliner 1650 FISH HAWK: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Crestliner 1650 Fishhawk is a compact fishing boat designed as a feature-packed starter package for dedicated anglers. It emphasizes durability and practical performance, making it suitable for those seeking a reliable and straightforward fishing platform.
Exterior Design and Construction
The 1650 Fishhawk is constructed using all-welded aluminum, providing strength and resilience. Its hull features a smooth design with an integral keel and a shallow 12-degree dead rise that transitions into a reverse chine. This reverse chine enhances turning performance and stability, especially when anglers are positioned off to the sides. The transom is built with marine-grade treated plywood sandwiched between aluminum, while the top and bottom sides are each formed from single aluminum pieces joined at the chine. An additional welded piece reinforces the chine, contributing to the boat's structural integrity.
Handling and Performance
While the 1650 Fishhawk is positioned as a price-point boat and not intended for high-speed performance, it delivers predictable and stable handling. During high-performance turns, the boat maintains a smooth, controlled slide without digging in or causing abrupt lateral forces. Steering feedback is minimal, requiring the operator to maintain a firm grip on the wheel to prevent torque steer, which tends to pull the boat to starboard if the wheel is released. Proper trim adjustment is critical; a few increments of up trim facilitate optimal acceleration and straight-line tracking, whereas excessive trim can cause the propeller to ventilate and reduce control. When trimmed correctly, the boat cruises level and straight without demanding excessive steering effort.
Specifications and Performance Metrics
The Crestliner 1650 Fishhawk measures 16 feet 8 inches in length overall, with a beam of 7 feet 1 and three-quarter inches, and a draft of 3 feet 1 inch. The empty weight is 1,060 pounds. During testing with a 90 horsepower Mercury Optimax engine, two passengers, 20 gallons of fuel, and test equipment, the total weight was 1,555 pounds. Performance testing revealed a top speed of 41 miles per hour, a planing time of 3.4 seconds, and an acceleration from 0 to 30 miles per hour in 8.9 seconds. Optimal cruising speeds vary depending on priorities: at 4,000 RPM, the boat achieves 27.6 miles per hour consuming 4.1 gallons per hour, while at 3,500 RPM, it cruises at 23.1 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 3.5 gallons per hour. The effective range difference between these speeds is minimal.
Conclusion
The Crestliner 1650 Fishhawk offers a solid, no-frills fishing boat experience with durable construction and stable handling characteristics. While it does not deliver aggressive performance, it provides predictable and manageable control suitable for anglers seeking a dependable vessel at an accessible price point.
