Crownline 270 BR

CL 240 LS · 10-07-2010, 07:24 PM

Hi Newbie
We love our Crownline and it's been trouble free since we bought it in 2006. FYI Channel is no longer a CL dealer, Winnisquam Marina is the new area dealer. Also Crownline has new owners after a reorganisation last year and they have modified some warranty terms.

I will also echo others and say it would be a better power package with a bigger engine. I sometimes miss the big block of my last boat of similar size but the 350 Mag with the Bravo III is great. Good luck with the test drive.

We have an 07' Crownline 270 BR and it is absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!! This is the fourth boat that I have owned and it is by far the best. We have had it for 3 1/2 seasons now and have logged approximately 275 hours. The boat has had little to no problems. The only problem that I now have is that there is NOT an on the water dealer on the big lake, hopefully when I am ready to change that situation will have changed. Good Luck!!!!!!

The Crownie is a good solid boat. I'd opt for the big block on that monster as well, very heavy boat.

If it's not new, I'd get a very good survey. Warranty is not as it was when it was the previous Crownline company. I have no idea what the new ones are like since they reopened under new ownership sometime in late 2009?

The 270BR is the quintessential Winnipesaukee boat.

Big enough for the rough stuff and the family, yet small enough to fit into the little coves and sand bars. Any bigger, in my opinion, and you belong in salt water.
