Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crownline 252 EX 2007 vs Crownline 340 CR 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crownline 252 EX 2007 vs Crownline 340 CR 2007 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 850 hp, the Crownline 340 CR 2007 has a 425-hp advantage over the Crownline 252 EX 2007's 425-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 340 CR 2007 carries 193 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Crownline 252 EX 2007. 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 252 EX 2007 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Crownline 340 CR 2007 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crownline 252 EX 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crownline 252 EX 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crownline 340 CR 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
