Crownline E2 EC 2012 vs Crownline Eclipse E4 2017: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crownline E2 EC 2012 vs Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 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 Crownline E2 EC 2012 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 55 gal and 55 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Crownline E2 EC 2012 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crownline E2 EC 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crownline E2 EC 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 13 passengers and at 24,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crownline Eclipse E4 2017 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
