Test Details
2009 Crownline 185 Ss Test Details
By: Mike Milne Like a prospective game show contestant, any new 18-foot bowrider has to do something to stand out from the crowd. It has to have something that shouts, “Pick me!” That even applies to boats from Crownline – a company already known for well-designed and well-built runabouts. At first glance, Crownline’s 185 SS gets your attention with its sleek lines and sporty gel coat and graphics. To see the significant differences you have to look a little closer. Layout-wise, it doesn’t differ much from competitors. It’s hard to deviate from the basic bowrider template so the 185 SS has a bow seating area, swivelling helm and companion seats, an aft bench seat in the cockpit, a sun lounge doubling as an engine hatch, and a swim platform aft. The 185 SS sets itself apart with a small design and engineering change that improves performance and several value-added additions that offer tangible improvements to the sport-boat lifestyle. Weight placement is a constant challenge with sterndrive-powered boats – having the engine right aft preserves cockpit space, but inhibits planing. Crownline leaves the engine aft in the 185 SS, but moves the fuel tank forward for improved weight distribution. Boaters lose the cockpit floor locker, but skis, wakeboards and other gear fit neatly into a full-width locker under the aft seat. Performance-wise, the move helps. Powered by a V6 4.3-litre MPI MerCruiser, the test boat hits 30 mph in under eight seconds. The boat is comfortable in choppy water and turns without hesitation or much loss of speed. A better balanced boat always offers improved handling and performance. Top speed is 45.6 mph and cruising speeds are in the 30 to 40 mph range. The other design elements are more visible. In the bow compartment, elimination of an anchor locker forward creates more space. The forward seating space is more rounded and legroom upfront is noticeably improved. In the cockpit, the super sport seating includes helm and companion seats with open backs and flip-up bottom bolsters. Heading aft, there’s a dedicated walkway to the swim platform, with a removable sunpad cushion. Recognized as a gathering place, the swim platform on the test boat is equipped with stereo option including speakers and a remote control on the transom.When the party moves aft, the music goes too. The Crownline 185SS is sure to shout, “Fun starts here!” to prospective bowrider buyers. |

About Crownline
With the 2006 model year, Crownline boats celebrated its 15th Anniversary as one of the most prestigious boat builder in the industry.
Crownline boats sophisticated new F.A.S.T.- Tab hull design–a seamless combination of form and function that will set industry standards for years to come. We also added three entirely new cruisers to our fleet with an additional wide body planned for the very near future. All of our new Crownline boats have exceeded expectations, indicated by their growing presence on waters around the world. And the sleek lines and eye-catching graphics of our entire fleet all say style, class and panache. But Crownline boats styling isn't limited to hull and deck. It permeates the entire length and breadth of every boat we build.
Floor plans, seating, upholstery, sundecks, helm designs are all creatively and seamlessly blended into an assortment of individualized platforms to meet the needs of the full range of sport boaters. Imagination and innovation are designed into everything we build from our award-winning 18-footers to our sleek, luxurious 34 footers. No exceptions.
Electrical and mechanical components are carefully located, not only for convenience, and ease and efficiency of operation, but for aesthetics as well. Swim platforms, built in or add-on, fit perfectly into the hull design. Sundecks, storage areas, entryways at the windshields and transoms are all smoothly blended into the overall design in order to maintain the integrity of each boat's
styling.
Starting with our AWARD WINNING 18 ft bowrider and moving up, each bowrider, deckboat, cuddy and cruiser features hull and deck styling with that Crownline boat pizazz, complemented by well thought out floor plans and helm designs. They come with classic upholstered seating, wrap-around windshield, convenient storage areas and lots of stainless steel, all stylishly blended into individualized packages of beauty, comfort and convenience for fun and enjoyment on the water.
Cuddies and cruisers are elegantly styled below deck. Whether talking comfortable sleeping quarters of the 230 CCR or the sumptuous cabins of the 250 CR, 270 CR, 315 SCR and our new 340 CR tasteful styling abounds.
However, styling, no matter how appealing, without quality construction and quality components is soon unmasked. That's why we at Crownline boats build unquestionable quality into every one of our boats. Again, no exceptions. Every Crownline boat is built to last and every piece of equipment we install is selected for its quality and marine durability. We use only brand name products that have been certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA).
We build our boats for long-lasting, trouble-free enjoyment so that boaters can travel in care-free style, comfort and convenience. It's what we do.
Crownline boats and all of its people are committed to being the best in class, not only in product, but in customer satisfaction as well. All Crownline models boast state-of-the-art styling. But all the technology, advanced styling and innovation cannot buy customer loyalty, and we understand that. We are in the business for the long haul and we know that our customers and owners have brought us to where we are today. And they are the ones who will keep us here. That is why Crownline boats is committed to total customer satisfaction. No exceptions.
All Crownline boats are built with painstaking attention to detail in order to provide its owner or operator with the maximum comfort, convenience and operating efficiency possible within its design parameters. Beginning at the drawing board, all possibilities are considered for each type of boat we build.
Well thought out floor plans, seating arrangements and storage areas are all major considerations. Then there's the placement and quality of fittings, the broad choice of comfort, convenience and utility options—all the things that make each owner's boat specifically enjoyable. We search out ways to provide everything needed for day-tripping or cruising.
We then build flawless glass masters, crafted to zero tolerance perfection. Hull and deck molds are then formed with the same care and attention to assure perfection in surface finish and no internal construction flaws.
Paying this kind of attention to detail has helped us build a loyal owner body and made us one of the largest builders of stern-drive sport boats in the world. Two achievements we intend to nurture and maintain.
Crownline boats are built to zero tolerance standards in order to insure the quality that has made them the best value in the industry. Much of our standard equipment is only optional on other sport boats. We will never deliver anything less to our customers than true value in terms of products that represent "best in class". We are committed to providing the very best products in terms of design workmanship, construction, standard and optional equipment.
For value assurance all of our equipment is certified "premium quality" by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. Crownline boats standards include tilt steering wheel with a rack-and pinion steering system, full instrumentation, pull-up cleats, one-inch welded stainless steel bow rails and stand-up bimini top, to mention a few (see specific models for more).
But each boat can also be customized with choices from a whole array of optional equipment that includes interior, exterior, electronic and mechanical options. You can also choose a customized performance package, entertainment system, water systems and more. When we talk about unequaled value at Crownline boats, we mean it.
