It seems that most everything is becoming extreme these days so little wonder that Crownline has its own “EXtreme” model in the 262 deckboat. The Crownline 262 EX has comfortable seating for 10 people, a head in the port console, and five engine options from a single 250-hp MerCruiser with a Bravo III to one powered with a MerCruiser 496 MAG HO 425-hp engine with a B II drive. The latter model is $28,000 more than the base boat with 250-hp engine. Either way you’re getting a lot of boat here, and a fast one, too, due the pad on the keel and the chine vents. Crownline says their intention is to produce Corvettes in an industry that specializes in station wagons.
