2008 – Crownline 250 CR with a MerCruiser 5.7L engine

The cockpit layout is one of the best on the market with an aft bench seat that converts to a full sunbed. The double helm seat can be rotated 180 degrees to face the rear for a great conversation area and the cabin area has all the amenities to make an over night stay a pleasure

A nicely presented and well maintained Crownline 250CR built in 2008 and fitted with a Mercruiser 5.7L 350MPI 310hp V8 Magnum Inboard Petrol Engine with Bravo III Duo Prop sterndrive.

This sporty yet comfortable cruiser offers up to four berths in a well-designed cabin, complete with a separate heads compartment. The spacious cockpit is finished with synthetic teak flooring throughout the cockpit and bathing platform, and features a handy wet-bar with cooler storage below.

The dual helm seat includes a flip-up bolster, comfortably seating two people and swivelling to form part of the aft social seating area. The aft seating converts into a large sunpad, ideal for relaxing days on the water. To port, a lounge seat opposite the helm provides additional comfort for guests.

Orca Bay’ is a perfect weekend cruiser — practical, stylish, and well-equipped for family or couples’ adventures afloat.

Owner’s Comments

As a family of 4 we have had so much fun on this boat during our ownership. She is small enough and powerful enough to tow inflatable toys yet big enough and comfortable enough for 4 people to weekend away on her either at anchor or in marinas. Her seaworthiness over long distances is excellent and she has proven to be an excellent coastal cruiser as she handles swell and chop with ease.
