About Crownline

Transcend The Ordinary

Crownline Helm Shot

At Crownline, we’ve built our company and our reputation by always giving our customers more than expected–in product and in service. Today, the Crownline name is among the most respected in the boat-building industry and we are one of the largest builders of stern-drive sport boats in the world. Our boats stand out in a very competitive industry and market for three very important reasons:

First, we determine what it is that buyers look for in their boats from entry level to luxury cruisers. We take this information to the drawing board and design in as standard equipment those options most sought after. This increases the volume of these components and thus our purchasing power; and we pass these savings on to our customers.

Next, we make absolutely certain that every boat we build meets our unrelenting and self-imposed quality standards.

And last, knowing what boaters want in the way of equipment to customize their bowrider, deckboat, cuddy or cruiser, we make available a full range of optional equipment to meet the specialized needs of our buyers. Then we put it all together in a package that features Crownline excellence in design and construction to produce top-line stern-drives that deliver as promised.

F.A.S.T. Tab

This ingenious design is not only one of the most efficient stern drive hulls around, its sleek lines, powerful profile and fetching graphics make it one of the most attractive.

Ride, handling and safety are always key considerations whether idling through “no wake” zones or pushing the envelope. There’s always positive control with the most unique sport boat hull system running today. Vortex generators, developed from aero-space technology, greatly reduce stern wander by precisely controlling water flow at the stern. A full-length keel pad assures planing efficiency by lifting the entire running surface of the hull. A vented chine hull minimizes drag to improve time-to-plane acceleration. Its reduced horsepower requirements improve fuel efficiency. Our fin-assisted-safe-turn F.A.S.T. Tab stabilizes the hull in high speed turns. All four features are neatly combined into our F.A.S.T. Tab package and used exclusively on eleven of our bowriders, deckboats and cuddies where it provides:
