NG here. Bought my Crestline Fish hawk 1600 SC brand new in 1999. It has been a great boat and used often. The last couple of years fishing took a back seat due some family health issues but I was prepping the boat for some bass fishing.
Then the thieves struck. Cops recovered it, stripped. Motor, steering, console, seat bases, batteries, sonars, trolling motor, lights hull fittingd and wiring...gone.
Insurance is not a bad number, but won't cover professional refit.
We have a hull, decks and a trailer. After a week of looking it over, it will be rebuilt as a tiller boat. Step one is plugging 3 through hull fittings for the live well that never worked anyway. I think it will become a tackle box.
Questions may pop up from time to time, and I will try to post my progress here. Goal...fishing (maybe electric motor only) by April 2016.
