My plans got all blown to he77 today and I didn’t make it.
However did have a couple interesting developments so maybe it wasn’t a bad thing.

Amazing how the word gets around when you are looking for a boat.

Did you find a lightly used 20 footer for the price of a Backtroller?

I am between the Crestliner 1850 Tiller and the Lund Tiller 1875. Both have a 90hrs Merc 4stroke. I will be looking at both and making my decision at the show. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. (I am leaning towards the Crestliner simply because I think it will be less money and I have been watching Jason Mitchell fish out of that boat on his shows and I like what I see…) Excited!!! RR

Went last night after work and in 8 weeks I will be the proud new owner of a Crestliner Pro Tiller 1850 (90 horse 4 stroke Merc…)! A shout out to Erin from Crestliner who was an absolute pleasure to work with at the Crestliner booth. After comparing the Lund Tiller 1875 and my boat I am happy with my decision. Not a shot at Lund but the Crestliner’s layout was better for me. No buyers remorse so that gives me the confidence that I made a good decision. RR

Hey RR make sure to post pics of that beauty when she’s yours, awesome!!! Congrats, I’ve looked at both those boats and I as well really like the layouts of those Crestliners.

Ya, actually 3 came blasting at me. One is where the backtroller would be. We will see, i’m not to excited about blowing budget on the others.

Will need to sell the Tuffy whichever way it goes.

Congrats bud!! Welcome to the club!

Just heard that you got the hammock too!! Best idea a boat company ever came up with that’s for sure! Dude wants a boat: Wife questions the purchase: Dude shows her the hammock: Wife makes dude buy the boat:

It was the deciding factor!!! Erin set it up and even got in it and my wife said, “Yup…No need to look any further!”

Hammock in the boat?

Hammock snaps in on the sides of the boat across the beam. Pretty slick! (And yes my mind was drifting off to a hot July day…..) RR

That sounds like the perfect bargaining chip! Kids would probably love it too!

Here it is.. Chicks dig it.

Nice shade for the dog too.

Hammocks are awesome. Nicely done! Congrats. I can honestly say I’ve liked every crestliner I have fished out of.
