Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crescent Yachts 115 1995 vs Crescent Yachts 117 2020 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crescent Yachts 115 1995 vs Crescent Yachts 117 2020 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 2 735 hp, the Crescent Yachts 117 2020 has a 835-hp advantage over the Crescent Yachts 115 1995's 1 900-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 35 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Crescent Yachts 117 2020 and its 2 735-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Crescent Yachts 115 1995 with its 1 900-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
