Production model
Retriever
Built by Crestliner
A utility and hunting boat: flat or shallow V, open deck, built to be loaded with gear and dogs and run into shallow water.
Crestliner build in Little Falls, Minnesota and are known for a welded aluminum hull rather than a riveted one, which is the brand's main selling point and a real advantage on a boat that will spend years being dragged onto trailers and beaches.
