I am having issues with my 2023 Crestliner Discovery boat

I really love this boat. But when I get it up to plain and 5000 RPM, And I have a passenger in the boat with me, The whole boat wants to tilt to the left point where it is dangerous to operate and no one that I've talked to seems to know how to solve the problem!!

Full enclosure package question and concerns on 1600 vision

Im looking to buy my first ever new boat. Ive looked at so many brands and Ive got my sights set on the 2023 Crestliner Vision 1600. I love the options that are offered for the boat. One in particular stands out and is really the most important reason Im getting the boat and all the options that total up to 38k. ITs everything I want in a boat. The full enclosure package is what Im very interested in. I want to know if it fully covers the boat from bow to stern, does it completely cover the boat? Its a 2500 option and I cant find any pictures of what it looks like with it installed or put up. Ive contacted several dealers and they have never seen it either and cant answer this. Please Id love to be able to see exactly what Im spending 2500 on

Cracked weld on 2019 Crestliner 1850 Fishhawk platinum

My boat started taking on water and I spent some time looking over all the intakes, plug, lines and livewells but could not find anything that would be of issue. After closer inspection of the entire boat, I was able to locate an area on the bow, where the keel connects to the floor, there is a crack that has been leaking. I would like to say that this sort of thing happens, and that it can be fixed, although I am terrified now because I know that it should never happen and I am worried that the boat was made with a lack of quality control and possibly will continue to fall apart. The weld has clearly pulled away from the floor. It is leaking a great deal and will need to be repaired. I have taken several pictures of the crack and have a local aluminum welder coming to inspect the damage. I am also having him take a look to see if he can find any other areas that would be of concern at a later date. I bought this boat because of the name and the understanding that these boats are made with high-quality materials by professionals that ensure that they will not peel apart. At this time, I am extremely concerned that I was wrong. I live very far away from a marine repair shop and will not be able to go without the boat for a long period of time. I am looking for a solution to this that will not going to take my boat away for an extended period of time during the summer. VERY CONCERNED and UPSET. I have asked for clarity on what to do next. Waiting for a reply.

No answers

Tried a new boat today couldn't get it to stop porpoising. 18' Jon with 60 tiller trimmed all the way down wouldn't stop even when put man up front. Wanted to speak to a tech that knows about boat set up and maybe troubleshoot it. Wouldn't let me maybe you don't have any. I wanted the boat and probably would have went back and bought it if you had enough courtesy not to treat me like I was stupid. Didn't want to speak to the dealer wanted to speak to the company that builds them. I had asked the dealer.I am not an Idiot.

Recall fiasco

Crestliner has been forced to do a recall on certain models by the USCG for insufficient foam flotation in the hulls. Their solution is to leave it to the dealers who are in various stages of training to do the work. This leaves the customer unsure about when or if the work is being done correctly. Communication is minimal, even to the dealers. Very poor handling of an issue that could have been avoided if theyd done their jobs in the first place.

Nightmare

Purchased my first new boat . What a big mistake I made buying this boat . First of all had new trolling motor installed that cost over 3 k when I launched the boat the design of trailer ripped trolling motor right off . Steering lines were crossed had to get a local mechanic to come out and fix boat would turn left when it was suppose to turn right ran into dock because of this . Electrical is also a nightmare pumps work when they want to not all the time sea deck pealing off everywhere . Center console was only being held by 4 screws when there are about 20 holes for screws fuel tank had big leak discolored everything and was a fire hazard and to top it off a year latter I still have not heard a word from anyone and Ive sent endless emails to crestliner and nothing . I took the boat back to dealer I bought it from they had it for a week and did absolutely nothing returned boat and everything was the same NOTHING FIXED ! After having to pay and do a lot of repairs myself Im super disappointed with the QC in this company . The boat is a total disaster wont recommend to anyone . Bay2000

Lemon and poor delivery and quality

Boat seats

Replaced the seats and the replacements were not good either! They had no good back support! You could not depend on them for support!

Cracked hull in my 2021 **** storm

Hi, i had recently purchased a new 2021 crestliner storm at the end of 2020. Last season not even a year into the season the right bottom of the hull cracked, i believe its from trailering the boat. When it cracked i sent it to my local dealer where i purchased the boat, they welded and fixed it. This year not even halfway through the season it cracked again. Im looking to speak to someone about it asap and hopefully have it addressed that this boat is not even 2 years old, so why is this happening? Is it just a weak boat? Pics down below. Number is 413-841-**** thank you

Needed parts

Crestliner has NO customer service. I would never recommend their boats to anyone. When you pay 15-20,000 for a new boat you should be able to call the company direct. I just recently learned from the dealer they have no main customer service. Talk about terrible. Crestliner SUCKS
