Crestliner Mod-V 1800 Bay
Anglers can expand their horizons in the new Mod-V 1800 Bay. Its overall length of 18 foot, 6 inches makes it a compact powerhouse packed with 150 horsepower and a 21-gallon fuel tank. The Mod-V 1800 Bay also comes in a slightly larger model, the 2000 Bay, that boasts a 20-foot, 5-inch length.
Established during an era of post World War II industrial expansion, Crestliner has a long-standing reputation of building high-quality boats. The Mod-V design is engineered with a unique design of an interlocking tongue-and-groove system, covered by handcrafted welds, to provide maximum strength and durability.
The high-end center fiberglass console has a 12V power outlet, space for 7-inch in-dash electronics, six vertical rod holders, windscreen, instrument panel and forward-facing seat with a livewell. The 1800 has a rather unique and distinct transom, one angled with a 5-inch setback to increase performance and handling.
