Crownline 252 EX 2009 vs Crownline JTC72294L708 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crownline 252 EX 2009 vs Crownline JTC72294L708 2008 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Crownline 252 EX 2009 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Crownline JTC72294L708 2008 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crownline 252 EX 2009 could be the deciding factor.
