Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Crownline E4 EC 2013 vs Crownline Eclipse E4 2016 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Crownline E4 EC 2013 vs Crownline Eclipse E4 2016 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 320 hp for the Crownline E4 EC 2013 and 300 hp for the Crownline Eclipse E4 2016. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. 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 E4 EC 2013 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Crownline Eclipse E4 2016 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crownline E4 EC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crownline E4 EC 2013 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 2016 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
