If you’re in the market for a premium 30-foot bowrider that handles like a dream, entertains like a much larger boat, and won’t break the bank to own, the Crownline E305 XS deserves your attention. This 2020 model, located in North Miami and listed through Aspire Yacht Sales at $145,000, combines twin Mercury outboard power with a thoughtfully designed layout that punches well above its weight class.
Twin Mercury Power with Joystick Docking
Powered by twin Mercury 225hp four-stroke outboards producing 450 horsepower total, the E305 XS delivers a top speed of 50 mph and a comfortable cruise at 35 mph. That’s plenty of power for island-hopping, sandbar runs, or watersports.
The real game-changer: Mercury joystick docking control. For anyone who’s stressed about backing into a tight slip, joystick makes it intuitive and nearly effortless. Combined with Lenco auto trim, Garmin EchoMap navigation, and SeaStar Optimus steering, this boat handles with the confidence of a much more expensive vessel.
Designed for the Florida Lifestyle
Crownline’s proven 22-degree deep-V hull provides a smooth, predictable ride through Florida’s varied conditions — from calm Biscayne Bay mornings to afternoon chop in the ocean. The wide beam creates generous seating throughout the cockpit and bow, making this an ideal platform for families, couples, or groups heading to the sandbar.
A hardtop provides protection from sun and weather, while the extended swim platform creates easy water access for swimming and boarding. Two underwater lights add a polished touch when docked or at anchor in the evening.
Practical Features That Matter
The enclosed head compartment — with marine toilet, glass vessel sink, and granite countertop — allows for extended days on the water without needing to rush back to the marina. A Lewmar vertical windlass with anchor and rode makes anchoring simple and reliable.
The helm features a clean layout with Garmin display, analog gauges, and Mercury digital throttle controls. Everything is positioned for clear sightlines and confident operation.
Low Hours, Excellent Condition
With just 227 engine hours, this Crownline has been lightly used and well cared for. The outboard power configuration means simplified maintenance compared to sterndrive alternatives, and Mercury’s dealer network throughout Florida means service is never far away.
