The 2026 Crestliner 1600 Storm is a 16-foot aluminum bay boat built for multispecies fishing. Its all-welded Mod-V hull combines durability with the shallow-draft capability needed in variable water conditions. A Mercury 20hp engine with power tilt provides straightforward propulsion, while a Minnkota Edge 45-pound trolling motor handles precision positioning. The boat comes on a custom trailer fitted with a spare tire, mount, and ratchet tie-downs.
The layout prioritizes fishing functionality and storage. Two deluxe pedestal seats and two deluxe flip-up seats provide flexible seating around the console. A 17-gallon aerated livewell in the bow keeps bait fresh, and lockable rod storage on the port side holds up to eight rods. Additional dry storage runs beneath the seats and in dedicated compartments forward and aft, with a dedicated battery and fuel locker in the stern. Three drink holders and a bow platform with storage add practical touches.
Standard equipment includes a Humminbird PiranhaMAX 4 fish finder at the console and a Lowrance Eagle fish finder for redundancy. The full windscreen and bow dry step enhance comfort and safety. Black composite steering wheel and cleats, stainless steel eyes, and a reinforced aluminum stringer system with extruded ribs and full-length welding ensure structural rigidity. Manual bilge pump, level flotation, and wood-free construction round out the build. The hull paint is finished in solid black, with all upgrades and options noted included.
