Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crownline 240 LS 2010 vs Crownline E6 EC 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Crownline 240 LS 2010 against a deep vee Crownline E6 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 E6 EC 2013 at 26,3 ft. At 49 lbs and 57 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 425 hp for the Crownline 240 LS 2010 and 430 hp for the Crownline E6 EC 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Crownline E6 EC 2013 carries 55 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 E6 EC 2013 caps at 8. 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 E6 EC 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
