Both the Crownline 320 LS 2010 and the Crownline E2 EC 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Crownline 320 LS 2010 measures 32,4 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 9,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crownline E2 EC 2013 at 22,5 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crownline 320 LS 2010 tips the scales at 9 500 lbs - 4 800 lbs more than the Crownline E2 EC 2013 at 4 700 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 640 hp, the Crownline 320 LS 2010 has a 320-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 320 LS 2010 carries 139 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 320 LS 2010 caps at 9. 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.
