If you're an angler on a budget, but you don't want to sacrifice quality, I think this Crestliner 16 Kodiak SC is a boat you should look at. Now Crestliner redesigned this boat in 2012 with a new hull, a half inch more beam, but most importantly, a lot more room inside. When Crestliner redesigned the 16 Kodiak they only increased the beam or the width of the boat by half an inch. But the cockpit seems a lot larger, and here's how they did that. These boxes contain flotation and used to run farther forward, and were narrower. In the redesign, they made the boxes deeper and brought them farther aft. This makes them a better seat, and also leaves a lot more room in the middle of the boat. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2012/11/2013-crestliner-kodiak-16-sc-video-boat-review/ For more boat reviews and performance tests, visit. www.boats.com.
