Crowline Boats Makes Australian Debut at Sydney Boat Show
23rd July 2004
Crownline Boats is pleased to announce that its range of 18 to 29-foot trailerable bowriders, deckboats and cruisers will be launched in Australia at The Sydney International Boat Show.
A selection of the exciting range will be on display at the TR Marine stand, Hall 4, Stand 418.
While new to Australia, Crownline has been an industry standout in the USA and Europe over the past decade. Since its formation 12 years ago, Crownline has grown to be a "top five" producer in the USA, the #2 exporter into Western Europe, and now stands as the biggest independently (and family) owned boat manufacturer in the USA.
Crownline boats are highly awarded in the USA market, due to their unparalleled style, attention to detail, and unequalled value. This is evident in the 180BR bowrider, which currently holds the JD Power award for Highest Customer Satisfaction Among Owners of Small Runabout (16 to 19 feet).
All models come standard with a high degree of standard features. From the entry model 180BR and up every model features pop up cleats, 2 colour gelcoat, automatic bilge pumps, coolers, and chrome over brass through hull fittings, while the 25 and 27 foot cruisers feature full canvas, automatic fire extinguishers, shore power, galvanic isolaters and electric engine hatches. The mid-sized bowriders feature the revolutionary Fast TabTM hull design that improves planning efficiency and high-speed stability.
Ian Ticker of TR Marine is excited to be the Australian launch dealer, noting that "the stylist designs, exceptional craftsmanship and quality, high level of standard features and user functionality will make Crownline amongst the most notable product launches of this Show".
