1992 Chris Craft Crowne that looks like a early 2000s model. Very well kept as you can see from the photos. This boat is in the express cruiser style and is a great boat for either someone down sizing or just getting into their first large cruiser. This boat is a dream to operate and is very maneuverable with the twin engines. Im the third owner and have babied this boat. I love the boat but unfortunately with having three grandsons (6,4,& 2), it is time to move up to something larger. This boat will sleep 4 very comfortably in 2 queen berths. It has a kitchenette with stove, mini oven, microwave and refrigerator. The bathroom features a sink, shower, and toilet. The boat comes with central air and heat. with remote thermostat. When out on the water the 4500 watt genset more than provides enough power for your needs.With an aerodynamic, molded look, wrap-around windshield and stylish, low maintenance features, this open express cruiser is a finely styled blend of gusto and comfort suited for growing families who enjoy a lot of activities on the water.On deck, the boats tiered integral transom is styled with a curvacious stern swim step. It is equipped with a hot and cold shower, swinging transom gate and fender sockets that double as scuba tank holders.A wrap-around sport lounge is just a few steps away, along with a table, wet bar, sink and ice box. The cockpit is framed overhead by a rakish radar arch.On the other side of the arch, the boats helm is sporty enough to fuel the performance fantasies of any driver. With its array of round, businesslike gauges, glossy laminate surfaces and designer-trimmed panels and sport steering wheel, the boat also is a cruising weekend home. The helms companion seat and side-facing double seat provide a sociable setting in the midst of all the go fast excitement.Equipped with twin 330 hp OMC Cobra 7.4 Liter stern drives, the boat will pop onto plane and quickly hit speeds of nearly 45 mph.Where conditions are like a mill pond, the wake will be silky smooth, almost flat, and the counter-rotating stainless steel propellers will offer ample control. They kept things smooth and quiet on a ride that will have you cutting turns steadily at full throttle without a slip or jog.The deck hatch offers easy access to both engines. Vibration is kept to a minimum, allowing almost normal conversation at cruising speed, despite a lack of sound insulation between engines and the main cabin.The midcabin accommodations include six feet, eight inches of headroom and are reached by a scalloped companionway stair. Aft, a wrap-around settee seats eight for dining and converts to a bed with privacy curtains.Below, as on deck, the atmosphere is modern, slick and not too demanding for people who want to spend their time aboard having fun, not sanding teak. Forward, a spacious queen-size bed has an adjacent port and roomy under-berth stowage.The galley and head are small, but bright, functional and easily maintained. Despite the sacrifice in space all open express cruisers must make to keep a low profile topside, this boat manages to provide enough creature comforts below to keep everyone happy during a weekend cruise.Light colors and composites lend a feeling of airiness below, and so do its opening ports and white translucent circular hatches/skylights with screens. The hatches have strong metal frames that are properly weather sealed.Throughout the boat, the absence of maintenance-heavy wood trim is striking. Its clean and bright below, but the real joy of the boat is topside.The craft is a fun-loving boat, with the racy profile of a cat ready to pounce. Its layout will suit boatmen who enjoy the open accessibility of an express cruiser.If the boat has a weak point, it is the narrow deck walkway leading from the cockpit to the foredeck: It is barely wide enough for a size 9 medium shoe, so agility is required to go forward while underway. However, this boat shares this drawback with many boats of its type including the Sea Rays and the Formulas.Chris-Crafts Crowne is one of the most appealing express cruisers of this size on the market. It is well designed, stylish and comes from a company that has made a commitment to satisfying todays market: That means performance, service and reliability.
