NEWEST ADDITION TO THIN BLUE LINE FISHING
What’s going on, everyone?
Today, we’re doing a full walkthrough of the 2026 Crestliner 2250 Authority, and this boat is an absolute beast.
This one is powered by a 300-horsepower Mercury Pro XS, along with a 15-horsepower Mercury ProKicker, giving us a great combination of performance, control, and versatility on the water.
In this video, I’m going to take you from bow to stern and show you exactly how this boat is set up. We’ll go over the layout, storage, electronics, fishing features, seating, livewell setup, and everything else this vessel has to offer.
I’ll also walk you through the helm and talk about the Mercury 300 Pro XS, the 15-horsepower kicker, and why I chose this particular setup.
One of the things I really like about the 2250 Authority is that it gives you the room and capability of a serious Great Lakes fishing boat while still giving you the versatility to fish a lot of different ways.
Whether we’re trolling for salmon and trout, jigging, casting, or just running across the lake, this boat was built to handle it.
Throughout the walkthrough, I’ll show you some of the details you might not notice just looking at pictures online, including how much usable fishing space you actually have and how everything is laid out when you’re out on the water.
And of course, we’re going to fire up that 300 Mercury Pro XS and talk about performance and what you can expect from this setup.
So if you’ve been considering a 2026 Crestliner 2250 Authority, or you just want to see what this boat is all about, stick around.
This is the 2026 Crestliner 2250 Authority — 300 horsepower, 15-horsepower kicker — and today, we’re giving you the full walkthrough.
Let's get into it.
