Crestliner 2070 Retriever SC: A 20-Foot Aluminium Side Console Built for Hunting and Fishing

1. General Information

The Crestliner 2070 Retriever SC is a 6.10-metre all-welded aluminium side-console boat and the largest in the Retriever SC line, designed for waterfowl hunters and anglers who need room for crew, dogs, decoys and gear. A 2.44-metre beam, seating for seven and an 845 kg maximum weight capacity make it a true workhorse, while a tall console, fold-down seats and generous storage help it switch between a duck hunt at dawn and a fishing trip in the afternoon. It is rated for 60 to 150 hp outboards, including Mercury jet outboards for running shallow rivers and backwaters.

2. Construction and Design

The hull is all-welded marine aluminium with 2.54 mm (0.100-inch) plating on the bottom, sides and transom, a full-length extruded welded keel, extra-strength extruded ribs and cross and side rib construction. A shallow 3.5-degree deadrise and 1.78-metre chine width give a flat, stable platform, with eight formed strakes and formed spray rails for tracking. The flat aluminium floor, wood-free construction, compartment seals and level flotation keep the boat durable and low-maintenance. A forward-mounted aluminium side console carries three vertical rod holders, toggle switches, a 12V outlet and space for top-mounted electronics, and a stern platform with lid and service compartment tidies away batteries and gear. Dry weight without an engine is around 510 kg.

3. Key Features

4. Summary
