Is this a Crestliner?

[Jesterton]

Hi guys,<br /><br />I´m about to buy my first ever boat. Here is the one that caught my attention. The owner said that it is a crestliner model called "Crusader" (27ft)out of 1984. Funny that I cant find that model on the internet... just the Crestliner Crusader II, but that is a hardtop and not simular. I think Late 70's Slickcraft models look more simular.<br /><br />Any suggestions?<br /><br />

<br /><br /><br />

If you can post the HIN (hull identification number) I'll look it up and see what it is.

I'll see if I can find that number.<br /><br />Anyone who has a clue meanwhile?<br /><br />As I see it Crestliner day cruiser above 24.50 ft is pretty rare.<br /><br /> Here is a simular but a few years older... <br />Click link for details

You can check NADA to see if they have a record of such a boat being made. The HIN will definitely say if it is a Crestliner or not though.

Thanks Bayman. NADA was totally new to me. Dont think we have such good database in Sweden.<br /><br />Weird... "Crestliner INC" did'nt make any models longer than 22' in 1983-85. "Crestliner AMF" had their big boy "Crusader Rampage 2675" but they stopped making them in '82.

I have a AMF Crestliner Rampage 2675, I have been told that mine was inported by the chelsea american boat inporters of London which has been sold or moved to some where on the Thames. The boat with the link above is more like a Rampage 2475. I have sales info for both. The AMF crestliners have a tag on the transom showing the date it was made.
