Crestliner Storm: The Hull Truth

 

BUILD

Made for the Long Haul

The Crestliner Storm’s rugged, wood-free hull is built to work as hard as you do. Its tough aluminum hull takes on brushy banks, gravel launches, and stump-filled coves, without blinking. The flat-bottom design slides into shallow water so you can hit those tight, fish-rich spots others can’t reach. 

Both Storm models are trailer-friendly, easy to store, tow, and launch, even when you’re fishing solo:

  • 1700 Storm – 17 ft. (19 ft. 4 in. with boat, motor, and trailer)
  • 1600 Storm – 16 ft. (19 ft. with boat, motor, and trailer)

Whichever Storm you run, you’ll get a no-nonsense, open layout built for the way you fish, backed by a transferrable, best-in-industry limited lifetime warranty on all main seam welds, plus a 3-year bow-to-stern warranty covering nearly everything else.
 

 

GEAR

Rigged for Real Fishing

There’s nothing better than stepping onto your deck, making that first cast, and feeling a strike. The Storm gives you and a buddy roomy decks at both ends, with clear views in every direction. It’s ready for your trolling motor, sonar, or livewell, with plenty of storage for tackle, gear, and rods up to eight feet long.

Standard features include: 

  • Marine-grade flooring
  • Console with switch panel, 12-volt outlet, and fish finder
  • Manual bilge pump
  • Storage compartments on bow and stern platforms
  • Under-seat storage
  • And more!

Every feature will keep you fishing longer, smarter, and with everything you need right at your fingertips.

   

TRIM

Built Your Way

Depending on the model, you’ll have seating for three or four, with pedestal floor bases and durable Tempress seats. Choose from unpainted or premium paint options like Black, Silver, Bright White, Fire Red, True Blue, and more, including matte shades and two camo patterns.

Customizing your Crestliner Storm is as easy as pulling in a bull bluegill on a cool morning. Start with the optional Gauge Package, which includes a speedometer, tachometer, and trim gauge. The available Crappie Package swaps the center storage for a 12-gallon aerated livewell, adds two pedestal floor bases, and adds a bow step with storage. 

Set up the casting deck the way you want, extend camo to the interior, or add a windscreen, a canvas cover, and more electronics to outfit your perfect fishing rig.
