2008 Crownline 25CR

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much Crownline squeezed into 25 feet without it feeling cramped. The molded swim platform and transom walk-through make it easy to hop in after a swim, and there’s enough cockpit seating to keep the whole crew comfortable underway. The helm is laid out so everything falls right to hand, with clear sightlines over the bow even at slower planing speeds. Down below, the mid‑cabin gives you a private, surprisingly roomy berth, while the convertible dinette lets you host friends or tuck in for the night. Thoughtful touches like plentiful cup holders, grab rails where you actually use them, and clever storage nooks make this a boat that feels dialed‑in after a single outing.

For waters that demand both easy day trips and the occasional weekend away, the 25CR hits a sweet spot. Its size is manageable for newer skippers in tight fairways and busy launch ramps, yet the cabin and enclosed head make overnights at anchor genuinely comfortable. The deep‑V hull handles afternoon chop with confidence, and the efficient sterndrive keeps fuel burn reasonable on longer runs between harbors or across open stretches. With a trailer in the mix, you’re not locked into one marina; you can chase the best weather, explore new shorelines, or tuck the boat away for the off‑season without relying on yard storage.
