Crownline 240 LS 2010 vs Crownline E2 EC 2013 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat — the Crownline 240 LS 2010 or the Crownline E2 EC 2013?

The Crownline 240 LS 2010 is the longer of the two at 25,0 feet overall. The Crownline E2 EC 2013 comes in at 22,5 feet, making it roughly 2,5 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Crownline 240 LS 2010 or the Crownline E2 EC 2013?

For trailering, the Crownline E2 EC 2013 has the edge at 47 lbs dry weight versus 49 lbs for the Crownline 240 LS 2010. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.

Q: Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?

The Crownline 240 LS 2010 is rated to a maximum of 425 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Crownline E2 EC 2013 tops out at 320 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Crownline 240 LS 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 12 passengers, while the Crownline E2 EC 2013 is certified for 11. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?

Both the Crownline 240 LS 2010 and Crownline E2 EC 2013 share an 102 in. (2.59 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Crownline 240 LS 2010 or the Crownline E2 EC 2013?

The Crownline E2 EC 2013 has the bigger tank at 37 gallons, versus 5 gallons on the Crownline 240 LS 2010. That 32-gallon difference translates to roughly 96–160 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Crownline 240 LS 2010 and Crownline E2 EC 2013 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Crownline 240 LS 2010 and the Crownline E2 EC 2013 are built by Crownline. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Crownline 240 LS 2010 vs Crownline E2 EC 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Crownline 240 LS 2010 against a deep vee Crownline E2 EC 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Crownline 240 LS 2010 at 25,0 ft versus Crownline E2 EC 2013 at 22,5 ft. At 49 lbs and 47 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Crownline 240 LS 2010 has a 105-hp advantage over the Crownline E2 EC 2013's 320-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Crownline E2 EC 2013 carries 37 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Crownline 240 LS 2010. 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 2010 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Crownline E2 EC 2013 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crownline 240 LS 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Crownline 240 LS 2010 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 E2 EC 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
