Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crownline 240 LS 2008 vs Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crownline 240 LS 2008 vs Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 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 Crownline 240 LS 2008 carries a rated maximum of 425 hp. Engine data for the Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 carries 55 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Crownline 240 LS 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Crownline 240 LS 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crownline 240 LS 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crownline 240 LS 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
