Where the joy lives
Titanium series Crestliner. Dawn patrols and camp-cruise simplicity; joy dies when trailers and titles are ignored.
- walleye
- big water
Common watch-outs
- Rivet weeping and transom flex on older riveted hulls
- Paint peeling and aluminum oxidation
- Trailer bunk and winch-stand neglect
- Outboard mounting height and cavitation issues
- Simple electrical systems still suffer switch corrosion
- Floor plywood rot on carpeted models
Safety notes
- Cold water + aluminum = deadly without life jackets; dress for immersion.
- Don't overload; weight forward in a chop sinks freeboard fast.
