2025 Crestliner 1860 RETRIEVER DELUXE TILLER

The Crestliner 1860 Retriever Deluxe is an 18-foot all-welded aluminum tiller jon boat with a wide, flat cockpit and a low bow platform that leaves room to move and cast. The all-welded hull, extruded full-length keel, and formed strakes hold up to hard use and track straight, and the tiller setup puts steering and throttle in one hand so you can work close to shore or a weed line. It carries a 16-gallon aerated bow livewell, lockable rod storage, a switch panel, and trolling-motor wiring, with pedestal seating front and rear. Crestliner rates it for a tiller outboard, and a Mercury fourstroke is the natural match for quiet, dependable starts.

This is a boat for skinny water and quiet mornings, the kind of rig that gets into the shallow corners of Echo Lake or a back bay on Flathead where the bigger boats can’t follow. It’s simple to launch, easy to fish solo, and comes into its own in the fall once the crowds clear and the bite picks up. The 1860 Retriever Deluxe is at Whitefish Marine. Call 406-862-8594 to see it.
