Crestliner Boats

 Crestliner Boats was founded sixty years ago, in 1946. The company was one of the most innovative and creative boat builders in the industry, and they still are. Crestliner was the very first company to make welded hulls. In 1964, when the other riveted boat companies could not quite perfect the welded hull, Crestliner was creating their revolutionary tongue-and-groove UniWeld hulls. They led the way in this area for every other aluminum boat manufacturer in the industry, and today, all aluminum boats have welded hulls. Crestliner’s unique UniWeld process ensures that their welds are stronger than any other in the industry today. No other boat manufacturer can even come close to matching Crestliner’s UniWeld technology. 

      This company is one of the best aluminum boat builders in the business because they have employed many different innovations to help create better boats. Some of the improvements that Crestliner Boats use are:

• Wide Beam – enhances stability and provides more space
• Fit Finish – incomparable finish
• Interior Crest-Liner Coating – weather and impact resistant and helps dampen vibration

Crestliner has been making top of the line aluminum boats for over half of a century, and they take pride in their legacy of quality boats and the innovations and designs that have pushed them to the top. They are so confident in their boats and in their Uniweld hulls that they have come up with a unique warranty called the Limited Plus Three Protection Plan. This warranty covers all of the hulls of Crestliner boats for life. Most boat companies say that they will also cover their hulls for life, but when the customer reads the fine print, they always see that “life” does not really mean what they think it does. With Crestliner’s Limited Plus Three Protection Plan however, the phrase “for life” actually means what it says. Every hull is guaranteed for life for the original owner. The rest of the boat, from the bow to the stern, parts and accessories included, is guaranteed for three years.
