Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crownline 290 SS 2022 vs Crownline E2 EC 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crownline 290 SS 2022 vs Crownline E2 EC 2013 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 430 hp, the Crownline 290 SS 2022 has a 110-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 290 SS 2022 carries 75 gallons versus 37 gallons in the Crownline E2 EC 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 E2 EC 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Crownline 290 SS 2022 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crownline E2 EC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crownline E2 EC 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 22,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crownline 290 SS 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
