What a great jet boat for Montana rivers! Forward center console makes it easier to read the water ahead and the upgrade to .125" Heavy Duty Edition hull gives you the piece of mind to run rocky stretches and park the boat on shore. This rig even has a stainless steel impeller to handle rocky rivers better than aluminum impellers.
Extra wide 70 Inch bottom makes this boat super stable and it planes easier than narrower boats--more planing surface. That also means it will plane at slower speeds while you pick your way along new stretches of river. The tunnel hull will run in skinnier water than you want to be in and protects the jet pump, just in case.
This boat has a big 19 gallon built-in fuel tank for more range than the average craft. We add the right options like sponsons for quicker planing and flat float at rest, upgraded galvanized trailer with vinyl slick bunks and more...

2024 Crestliner 1870 Retriever FCC
EXPERIENCE THE WATER FROM A NEW VIEW
One of the newest additions to the Retriever series, the 1870 Retriever FCC is an 18-foot forward center console boat built to give you a maximum line of sight and features a jet engine tunnel hull so you maneuver shallow waters and go where other boats can’t. Not only is the 1870 capable of reaching the shallowest sweet spots, but the all-welded construction of the aluminum tunnel hull fishing boat is durable enough to withstand even the rockiest shorelines.
