Crestliner 1750. Did 1996 have wood deck?

[doublesharp]

Hi. Does a 1996 fish hawk 1750 have a wood deck or had they started building the aluminum floored, no wood deck by then? Thanks.

I'll know for sure in the morning and I expect it's coming home with me, regardless of the deck material. It's rigged for catfishing and that's one of my favorite pastimes. Just need a boat I can afford and I think I've found one.

Based on nothing I would guess a wood floor. I googled the model and that looks like a great fishing set up. Good luck!

I now speak from experience. The livewell, rod box and hatch covers are aluminum and the main deck is plywood covered with carpet. This 96 CL Fishhawk SC I bought has a 50 year anniversary sticker on it 1946-1996. Floor is solid and seats, vinyl and carpet are in very good shape. Has a matching Trailmaster trailer. I think it's going to be a good one.

Have you dragged it home? Let's see some pics.

Just back from a 50 mile Ohio River shakedown cruise and it's all good. 60hp runs about 25 mph at 4500rpm and a moderate chop was easily handled. Since you asked, here are some pictures.

Sweet boat you got there. I have an 01 1800 with dual consoles, but kind of like the open layout of yours, lots of room to walk around.

And I thought I had a lot of rod holders on my boat,,, you got me beat by 3-4
