We are pleased to announce that we have just sold a Crownline 266 Sport Cuddy to a local person, the first such sale since Crownline resumed production in August last year. The new owner traded in his Crownline 18SSS for the new Crownline 266.

 

And according to all reports he has never been happier. So are we after the somewhat chequered history of Crownline in recent years. The Illinois, USA based company ceased operations in late 2008, but resumed manufacturing in August. Lee Marine has remained a loyal and valued broker of Crownline throughout. As the agents in this area we sold a lot of Crownline boats in the early years.

And it is a very nice boat this new Crownline 266 Sport Cuddy. It takes 10 people. There is an engine combination covering six types of engines, from the Merc350 MAG MPI Bravo III 300 hp to the Merc496 MAG Ho Bravo III 425 hp.

Features include a dining area in the cabin that converts easily to a V-bunk, standard stainless steel sink, fresh running water and cherry wood cabinets in the galley and the optional social swim transom has external splash-proof speakers and conveniently built in fender storage.

Canvas includes colour keyed full stand up top with quick disconnect hardware, a clear front Bimini connector, side and aft curtains, an embroidered boot, stainless steel tuning and hardware and retractable legs.

There is a curved tinted safety glass walk-through windshield, diamond anti-skid surface, an enclosed head compartment with shower, sink, vanity and shower sump pump. An extended swim platform offers full beam wrap around with handle and four step boarding ladder with diamond non-skid surface.

Inside there is a premium Sony marine stereo with single disc player and four speakers with a remote at the helm. The iPod can be plugged straigh in, of course.

For full details of the Crownline range, please contact Martin Holmes on martin@leemarine.net and see which model may fit the bill to get you and your family out to the islands soon.
