Crestliner Unveils New Bass Boat

Otsego, Minnesota-based Crestliner Boats has expanded its aluminum bass boat family with its brand-new PT20, officially unveiled at the Bassmaster Classic earlier this month.

Standard features include a massive elevated bow casting deck with storage beneath, bucket seating for two in the helm, a rear deck concealing storage and a 45-gallon live well. A central rod locker holds 10 rods up to 8 feet, 6 inches in length, while port and starboard lockers hold gear or a combined 12 further rods up to 8 feet, 6 inches. With an overall length of 20’ 5” the PT20 comes with a 32-gallon fuel tank, hydraulic steering, and a helm with space for 9” flush-mount electronic displays. Maximum power is 200 horsepower.

“The PT20 is a remarkable bass boat with all the bells-and-whistles serious anglers demand, yet they won’t have to break the bank in order to enjoy it,” says Chris Crockett, Crestliner’s program manager.

The PT20’s aluminum, all-welded hull is said to feature extra-strength extruded ribs and a center-welded extruded full-length keel for greater durability than competing models. Options include a Boss stereo with Bluetooth integration, a port console with glove box and windscreen, and a Hot Foot throttle.
