CROWNLINE CR290

OVERVIEW:

This high freeboard Crownline has a lot to offer when it comes to cabin and cockpit accommodations. Built on a beamy modified V-hull of solid fiberglass construction, the mid-cabin floor plan is arranged with a canted forward berth coupled with an L-shaped dinette/lounge across from the galley and a spacious head compartment. Privacy curtains separate the sleeping areas from the main cabin, and four opening ports and three deck hatches allow for plenty of cabin ventilation.

Additional features include built-in fender storage at the transom, a walk-thru windshield, removable rear bench seat, cockpit sink and recessed anchor storage at the bow. It also has a very large extended fiberglass swim platform.

For overnight stays, it has a full cockpit enclosure which is a great accessory. It fits around the entire cockpit giving you additional living area, even in inclement weather!

The seat bottom of the double-wide helm seat flips up to create a leaning post, and a molded cockpit galley/wet bar faces the L-shaped lounge. A removable table is located to provide an eating area for the lounge.

ROOM & COMFORT:

The first thing that you will notice about this cruiser is that it has a very wide 10.33 beam. This provides you with a very spacious cabin.

The kitchen has a microwave, cook top and A/C D/C refrigerator and an ample cabinet storage.

The boat comes with a built in A/C air conditioner which cools the cabin to the 60s. The unit may be plugged in to shore power while docked or powered by a portable generator while you are on the water. There is ample room in the engine compartment if you care to add a marine generator.

The head has a toilet, sink and shower. Another sink is built in the kitchen counter and there is another on in the cockpit.

The cabin has tons of storage under seat cushions and has several wall closets.

CRUISER PERFORMANCE

ON THE WATER:

A combined 480 HP from the two engines gets this cruiser up on top fast and the top end is about 38 MPH. This cruiser has a strong takeoff yet is easy on the gas! It will quickly pull up skiers or tubers with ease. It is large enough to smooth out the roughest of waters!

Unlike many cruisers, this one is fitted with twin

I/O stern drives which enable super steering, handling and trim capabilities. This is due to fact that the stern drives

provide the propulsion, turning, trimming and adjusting of this cruiser. Maneuvering and responsive turning is done

with ease.

Power trim tabs also enable you to adjust the ride to compensate for uneven loads.

UNIQUE SEATING and BERTH CONFIGURATION:

The cockpit features LOTS of cushioned seating for passengers! The captains bench seats 2 people. The lounge seats 3 passengers. The stern bench seat (removable) seats 3 people. A removable jump seat holds 2 passengers. A rear facing bench holds 2 people.

This cruiser cabin features UNIQUE SLEEPING and lounging accommodations! First of all, it has TWO BERTHS! The main sleeping berth is located mid-ships at the stern end of the cabin and features a full sized bed. There is also a forward birth for sitting or sleeping. You do NOT have to convert the cabin lounge seating into a bed so it can be used all the time.

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:

This 1999 Crownline Cruiser CR290 features two I/O engines which are Volvo Penta 5.0L GIs. It has reliable Volvo SX I/O stern drives. The entire hull is flawless and does not leak.

It is commonly known that Volvo is superior to Mercruiser when it comes to marine power-trains. They shift better, have a better clutch and last longer.

The Volvo SX stern drives have been completely serviced and have new seals, boots, etc. The two engines have been fully maintained and they are in excellent condition. I have enjoyed the security of having two engines in the event one was to be damaged underway.

There are about 940 hours on the Volvo 5.0 GI engines. Based on the age of the boat, those are very low hours. Also, since marine engines are actually converted truck engines, one can expect thousands upon thousands of hours of good performance. If you were to drive a truck 200,000 miles, that would take 5,000 hours. See what I mean? Also, Volvo is known as the Cadillac of marine engines noted for long life and quality.

I have maintained the engines and this boat has lots of power coming out of the hole or while underway. For the last seven years that I have owned this boat, I have had no mechanical problems or issues with the engines.

This boat does have bottom paint and could use a touch up or complete rework.
