The 2026 Crestliner 1860 Retriever is an 18-foot center console fishing and hunting boat built from all-welded aluminum construction. It comes powered by a Mercury 80 Jet outboard and rides on a custom galvanized trailer. The hull features a full-length extruded keel, formed spray rails, and reinforced cross and side ribs for strength. The bottom includes heavy-duty gauge plating and formed strakes. Wood-free construction keeps maintenance minimal.
The console is aluminum with six vertical rod holders, toggle switches, 12V power outlet, space for electronics mounting, drink holder, and grab handle. Steering is a black composite wheel with no-feedback design. The boat carries a 30-quart cooler, manual bilge pump, and ignition lanyard kill switch. Navigation lighting and level flotation are standard.
Storage defines the layout. The bow holds a 16-gallon aerated livewell and features a platform with two compartments finished with compression latches. A stern platform with lid and service compartment provides additional space. Two pedestal floor bases support moveable seating, with a cushioned stern seat included. The wide gunnel runs the length of the boat with lock track system for flexible rigging.
Equipment includes a leaning post, trolling motor harness, windshield, spray deflector, and sponson pods. A horn, fuel gauge, and gauge package displaying speed, tach, and trim round out the standard setup. Black composite cleats and stainless steel eyes secure lines at bow and stern.
