2018 Crownline E26XS

Step aboard the E26XS and you’ll notice how thoughtfully the space is laid out for a full day on the water. The deep, secure freeboard and wide beam give the cockpit a roomy, confident feel, even when you’ve got a crowd aboard. Plush upholstery and a fully finished head compartment keep everyone comfortable from first light to sunset. The aft seating converts easily, letting you shift from cruising to lounging without a puzzle of cushions. Forward, the bow is broad and inviting, with backrests that actually support you on a long ride. Stainless grab rails, quality hardware, and a solid, quiet ride remind you this is a premium deck boat, built for real use, not just dockside looks.

For these warm, often choppy coastal and inland waters, the E26XS hits a sweet spot between performance and versatility. The outboard design keeps draft modest for sneaking onto sandbars, yet the hull has enough deadrise to smooth out afternoon wind chop. A generous swim platform and easy boarding ladder make it ideal for sandbar raft-ups, snorkeling, and tow sports. The dual-console layout with a proper windshield offers welcome protection when a breeze kicks up on open stretches. Plenty of shaded seating and a private head mean family and guests stay comfortable on longer runs between waterfront hangouts, quiet coves, and the next fishing spot.
