Thought this was the best place to ask this question. If you own one, do you like it? I am considering a second boat to haul to the smaller lakes as my main boat stays on RC. Looked at Tracker, but wasn't impressed with the welds.
Thanks

I had a 16 ft Crestliner stick steer with a 40hp Johnson, and loved it. It was well built, smooth riding and easy to trailer.Sold it for some then-important reason, but wish I had it back.

I've only had mine for about three months, but love it. Tons of room to fish from the front deck. Two of us fish from the front all day and don't feel crowded. Ample storage, good livewell, and comfortable ride for a smaller boat (FishHawk 1750).
Plus, you'll be dealing with a great dealer in Advantage Marine. Joe does it right.

I have Fishhawk 1650 with a 40 HP Johnson. Seems to be a great little boat. No leaks at all. Everything works well.

Mine's a 1750 Fishhawk with 90 4stroke merc, and it's the best that I've ever been. Not sorry I got rid of the tracker.

Hey Kooby - How do you like the front and back minnow bucket livewells? They ever get to flooding in rough water or with some bouncing on the waves?

There is no minnow bucket live well in the back on the crappie edition. There is one live well just behind the driver seat,on the starboard side, one that runs across the front deck that has a minnow bucket made into it, and a very small live well in the very front of the bow for slow trolling. They all work well and have not had any overflowing problems. All of the live wells have an overflow port to prevent over flowing.

Ok, I was thinking about the CX Crappie and it had livewell front and back. You have the Fish Hawk, very nice. Thanks for the input!
