fish_fishburn Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hey Jim, I sent a email to a Crestliner dealer for a quote on a 1750 tiller with a 90hp optimax and trailer. Would of asked for the 1850 but its only rated for a 90. Same as all the other manufactures their 18 to 19 ft tillers are all rated for 90 hp only. To slow for me. Have a dealer 25 miles from me so thats nice and have dealt with them before. Will let you know how things fare out. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerGuy Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) We got a 2012 18' Lund Alaskan Tiller with a 75hp Yamaha Tiller. While this boat is more utility than my 16' Ranger fisherman tiller. I am extremely pleased with it I ran 3 adults and 2 65lb labs full gear on a 4 day weekend last year and still had 1/4 tank at the end of the weekend. Ride is much better than expected from a aluminum boat. Speed and time to plane is darn good. I'm on plane with that load in seconds and can easily get 37-38 mph So glad we went with an Alaskan and a Yamaha!

RangerGuy Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Have you tried Hastings marine. They have great service and were the only dealer not to soak me swapping the merc for a Yamaha. Other dealers wanted 1200 extra to sell it with motor other than merc. Not Hastings.. They have been very accommodating with my service as well. I am 1.5 hrs away from them so I want the boat done while I'm there so a 3 hr drive doesn't turn into a 6 hour drive for service.
