Used Crownline Boats for Sale: Prices, Models & 2026 Values
Crownline has built fiberglass sport boats in West Frankfort, Illinois since 1991, and it earned a following for a specific combination: aggressive styling, deep cockpits, and an interior finish a notch above the volume brands at a price a notch below the premium ones. The lineup has always centered on bowriders and deck boats from 18 to 30 feet, with cuddy and cruiser models at the top.
The used market is dominated by 2000s–2010s sterndrive bowriders (the 180–270 series and the SS and LS designations), with outboard-powered E-series and XS models arriving in the late 2010s. Because Crownline was never the biggest builder, supply is thinner than Sea Ray or Bayliner, and a clean example in a popular size can sell quickly. Condition and drivetrain history decide the price far more than the model year.

View detailsBuying a used Crownline: what to check
- Get sterndrive service records — bellows, gimbal bearing, impeller, and manifolds/risers in salt — because a neglected outdrive is the classic Crownline surprise
- Inspect the deep cockpit floor and ski locker for softness and standing water; the deep-V hull collects water in the bilge if the pump has failed
- Check the gelcoat and graphics for fading and cracking — Crownline's styling is a selling point, and a boat that lived uncovered loses that quickly
- Test the trim tabs, gauges and stereo; older Crownlines have more electronics than the volume brands, and wiring faults add up
Frequently asked questions
How much is a used Crownline worth?
Compact 180–205 bowriders typically sell for $8,000–$40,000; mid-size 220–270 boats $18,000–$70,000; cruisers $25,000–$90,000; and late-model E-series deck boats $45,000–$130,000. Drivetrain condition moves a boat within those ranges more than the year does.
Are Crownline boats good?
Yes — Crownline occupies the tier between the volume builders and the premium brands, with better interiors and styling than the former and lower prices than the latter. The hulls are solid; buy on outdrive and floor condition.
What engines do Crownlines use?
Most Crownlines are sterndrives with MerCruiser or Volvo Penta power, from 3.0L four-cylinders in the smallest boats to 6.2L V8s in the 270s and cruisers. Outboard-powered E-series and XS models arrived in the late 2010s.
