I think it would be great with even the smaller 65 jet as the 80 pushed it faster than most guys will run it .

The extra width on both bottom and beam are worth the extra money over most other standard size boat .
And it’s no harder to trailer and use the wide 18 as it is to use any smaller boat .

Thanx for the info everyone!!! I really like the Crestliners, both the 1660 and 1870 because of the width and price points. I think I’m going to hold out to be able to afford the 18’. As far as the outboard, I am no speed demon myself, you do agree that the 65 would suffice as a sufficient power option on the 1870?
