Re: Trying to understand the various Crestliner models...Phantom vs. Nordic
I can't speak to 1985-1990 but I have a 1984 Nordic model Crestliner 18' and it's an open bow rider. In the early 80's the company name was The Nordic Boat Company in Little Falls Minnesota.
. Capndan, go take a look at the Crestliner website. The have an archive of old sales brochures and I think they have a 1985. The other key difference is the phantom models are fiberglass vs. aluminum fishing boats.
