Crestliner ™

Crestliner’s legacy began in 1946. 18 years later, when they began welding their hulls in 1964, the riveted boat companies thought it would never last. They couldn’t perfect it, so they assumed no one else could either. Crestliner proved them wrong with their revolutionary tongue-and-groove Uni-Weld construction. Now, virtually every leading aluminum boat manufacturer has attempted to match their level of innovation and quality. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. At Dottie's Marine, we happily agree.

We pioneered the UniWeld hull with interlocking stringers
Without question, this is the finest hull in the aluminum boat industry. Every rivet-free seam is welded with a revolutionary tongue-in-channel technique. Our welds are so strong we cover the external hull, to the original owner, for life. Inside, a one-piece/bow-to-stern stringer gives the hull the structural integrity necessary for our deep-V boat geometry. Other manufacturers have attempted to match our level of innovation. None can match the UniWeld advantage.

Our wide beams enhance stability and provide more space to enjoy the day
Most competitive boats will fit inside a Crestliner. Yet they cost more. We build them deep and extremely wide to satisfy your family's big appetite for summer fun. So why would anyone buy anything but an ultra-wide Crestliner? That's a very good question.

Deep-V hull, a reverse-chine design and reverse-chine team up for a superior ride
When you punch the throttle on a Crestliner, two things happen. First, the deep-V bow slices through the water like a knife blade. Second, the reverse-chine hull works like flaps on an airplane to give the boat immediate lift, faster planing and a high, dry, soft ride.

Baked two-part paint process is as durable as it is attractive
We call it our Armor-Guard finish. You'll call it beautiful and tough-as-nails. Because we bake the two-tone paint in a computer-controlled oven, it cures to a hardness that typical boat paints can't match. Then we add custom graphics for sophisticated style.

Elevated helms and extra-high walk-thru windshields give you a great view of the water
Slide behind the wheel of a Crestliner. Feel the comfort of our Concept DX chair. Notice the height of the helm and wrap-around windshield. In addition to keeping you dry and comfortable, this design helps keep you safe. By delivering an improved view over the bow, a Crestliner is easier to handle at full speed and when docking or towing.

Patented conversion bows on many models
Crestliner's exclusive conversion bow is an engineering marvel. While other manufacturers force you to remove and store cumbersome parts on their conversion bows, our design is totally self-contained. You can switch between angling to cruising modes in a matter of seconds. It's just another patented feature that sets Crestliner apart as the "Leader by Innovation."

The best craftsmen for the ultimate fit and finish
We invite you to compare our workmanship to any other brand. We've developed a reputation in this industry for impeccable fit & finish and we're not about to give up our top position.

Interior Crest-Liner Coating
Lift the lid on a storage compartment on many models and you'll see our new undercoating. We call it "Crest-Liner" and it's a lot like the bedliner material in pickup trucks. In addition to being weather and impact-resistant, the "Crest-Liner" coating helps dampen vibration for a smoother, quieter ride.
