    I bought 2005 crest liner 1850 off the show room floor in 2005. I have fished out of that boat for the last 11 years. I have been thinking about upgrading for a year and a half. Today I went and test drove a Yar-Craft 2095BTX. I fell in love with the boat. All the room, storage, and the ride is great. I ended up talking number with the dealer on the demo that drove and everything worked out so I will be in a new boat next weekend. He is rigging it with two HDS 7’s, a HDS 9, Tevvora, on the front wave wackers and vantage on the back powered my a 200 verado. I’m excited to say the least and can wait to get some fish slime in it.

    Awesome, enjoy your new toy. You certainly can upgrade your opportunities of lake sizes!

    That’s quite the upgrade. You’ll never look back. Not for a second.

    I upgraded from a new 2004 fish hawk 1750 to a used fiberglass CC about 3 years ago. I can’t believe how easy a fiberglass boat handles. I figured it would be a bear handling at low speeds and trolling. Not so.

    Did you get the tiller model or the new one with the side steering console? Either way those are sweet looking boats. Does yours have the SeaDek flooring?

    Tiller model and with the seadak flooring. I’m excited to spray it down and not have to vacuum

    Picked up rigged today and took it out. Ended up with a limit and love the boat. Handles great.

    Great looking rig, can see they must have thrown in a decal for your topper!
