Matching a deep vee Crownline 264 CR 2013 against a modified vee Crownline 320 CR 2009 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Crownline 320 CR 2009 measures 33,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 6,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crownline 264 CR 2013 at 26,3 feet (2013). At 74 lbs and 15 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 850 hp, the Crownline 320 CR 2009 has a 420-hp advantage over the Crownline 264 CR 2013's 430-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 320 CR 2009 carries 141 gallons versus 75 gallons in the Crownline 264 CR 2013. 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 320 CR 2009 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Crownline 264 CR 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 320 CR 2009 could be the deciding factor.
