2003 Crestliner 1950

Step aboard this 1950 and you immediately notice how open and workable the cockpit is. The side decks are wide enough to move forward without climbing over gear, and the transom area has plenty of room for netting fish or managing lines. The aluminum finish still has that honest, no-nonsense look, built more for long seasons than for dockside posing. Gauges and switches are laid out so you can run the big motor, kicker, and trolling motor without gymnastics at the helm. It’s a boat that invites customization too—whether you want to tidy up the upholstery, add new electronics, or rig it with your preferred rod holders and storage solutions, the platform is ready to be tailored to your style of fishing.

This Crestliner 1950 shines in waters where conditions can change quickly, from glassy mornings to afternoon chop. The deep, stable hull and generous beam inspire confidence when you’re running to distant structure or following contour lines along exposed shorelines. With a reliable four-stroke on the back plus a dedicated kicker and bow-mount, you can troll precisely at any speed the local fish demand. The aluminum build shrugs off the occasional bump at the ramp or along rocky edges, and the roomy interior lets anglers spread out instead of tangling lines. For anglers who fish a mix of open water, rivers, and nearshore areas, this model offers the right blend of ruggedness and fishability.
