2008 Crownline 270 CR

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam on this 270 CR really opens up the cockpit. There’s plenty of space to spread out around the aft bench and convertible sun lounge, so everyone isn’t piled on top of each other underway. The walk-through windshield and molded steps make bow access simple and secure, even with a drink in hand. At the helm, the double-wide seat and smart sightlines mean long runs are comfortable instead of tiring. Below, the mid-cabin is more than just a token berth; it’s a proper hideaway for overnight guests or kids. Add in the extended swim platform with sturdy ladder and you’ve got an easy base for swimming, boarding, and watersports.

This size and style of express cruiser shines in local waters where conditions can shift from flat calm to choppy in a single afternoon. The deep-V hull on the 270 CR is built to slice through confused wakes and afternoon wind chop, giving you a drier, more controlled ride. It’s large enough to handle open stretches with confidence, yet still trailerable and manageable around tight marinas and crowded fuel docks. Overnight-friendly accommodations let you turn a casual afternoon cruise into a weekend on the hook, while the generous cockpit layout is ideal for raft-ups, dockside entertaining, and sunset runs along the shoreline.
