Authority 2250

Any Authority owners out there?? I have been looking at this boat pretty hard. How's your experience so far? How's the ride, do you feel the seats are too far forward? How's it track for trolling? Do you have a trolling motor up front? Top end speed? That size main motor did you go with?

If this is the Crestliner Authority it is a relatively new model whch just came out in 2015 or 2016.

Yep it came out in 2015, figures on year after I bought my 2050STX Starcraft. I love my STX, but I would love the extra room the Authority offers. I go some good feed back on Walleye central. If I can sell my Starcraft I will definitely pick one up.

I mostly looked at the Crestliner Raptor, STX 2050 , Starcraft Fishmaster, and Lund Pro V. The main reason I choose the STX was due to the deeper V haul than the Lund or Crestliner, and rod storage vs the Fishmaster. I didn't even consider the Crestliner Sportfish because I didn't view it as a pure fishing boat, it has a lot of features I don't look for in a boat.
