American Water Sports is pleased to offer this pre-owned 2007 Crownline 260 LS — a premium-brand 26-foot bowrider sportboat from one of the well-recognized American fiberglass runabout manufacturers, configured with the premium MerCruiser 6.2L MPI sterndrive powertrain paired with the Mercury Bravo outdrive in the LS (Luxury Sport) trim. Available at our Kimberling City location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #U-KC-68060, Hull #JTC68060K607), this 260 LS is the larger 26-foot variant in Crownline's premium LS bowrider line — sized one full size up from the more-common 24-foot LS variant, with the meaningful additional cockpit volume, passenger capacity, and the upgraded 6.2L MPI powertrain that defines Crownline's 260 LS positioning. The Crownline brand pedigree is the headline angle on this listing — Crownline Boats has built premium fiberglass runabouts in West Frankfort, Illinois since 1991, with a brand-recognized reputation for build quality, fit-and-finish, and the kind of premium fiberglass craftsmanship that defines the upper-mid tier of the American sportboat segment. The MerCruiser 6.2L MPI is the meaningful step up from the 5.7L 350 Mag MPI that typically powered smaller LS variants — more displacement, more torque, and the kind of capable family-day cruising character that the larger 260 platform calls for. For the family who wants a premium-brand, larger-platform vintage Crownline bowrider with the bigger MerCruiser 6.2L V8 powertrain at a value vintage price point, this 2007 Crownline 260 LS is one of the more compelling vintage premium bowriders at our Kimberling City location this season.
Crownline Boats has been building premium American fiberglass runabouts in West Frankfort, Illinois since 1991, with a brand-recognized reputation for build quality, fit-and-finish, and the kind of premium fiberglass craftsmanship that defines the upper-mid tier of the American sportboat segment. Crownline buyers cross-shop primarily against Sea Ray, Chaparral, Cobalt, and Regal — the established premium-American-runabout competitive set — and Crownline's reputation for fit-and-finish has held up well in the pre-owned market. The 260 LS specifically is Crownline's 26-foot bowrider in the LS (Luxury Sport) trim line — the premium-amenities trim level that defines the upper end of Crownline's bowrider production. The 260 LS sits one size up from the more-common 240 LS variant (24-foot model) — delivering meaningfully more cockpit volume, more passenger capacity, more storage, and the kind of bigger-platform stability that comes with the additional 2 feet of length. By 2007, the 260 LS platform was well-developed: a sport-tuned 26-foot hull, premium upholstery and trim content, the well-supported MerCruiser sterndrive powertrain that dominated premium-brand bowrider production through the 2000s, and the kind of LS-trim amenities content that distinguishes the Luxury Sport tier from base-trim Crownline production. For the buyer cross-shopping vintage premium-brand 26-foot bowriders, the 260 LS represents a distinctively-equipped Crownline alternative at the larger platform size.
Power on this 260 LS comes from the MerCruiser 6.2L MPI sterndrive — Mercury Marine's marinized 6.2-liter V8 in the multi-port-injection (MPI) trim that defined MerCruiser's upper-tier sterndrive offering during the mid-2000s. The 6.2L MPI typically delivers approximately 320-350 horsepower depending on calibration year — a meaningful step up from the 5.7L 350 Magnum MPI that typically powered smaller LS variants. More displacement translates directly into more torque, better acceleration with a full passenger load, stronger cruising character across the full RPM range, and the kind of capable family-day performance that defines the upper tier of premium-brand bowrider powertrain options. The engine is paired with a Mercury Bravo outdrive — the segment-standard premium sterndrive configuration during this era. The exact Bravo variant (Bravo One, Bravo Two, or Bravo Three) should be verified at walkthrough, as each delivers different performance characteristics: Bravo One delivers high-speed top-end performance, Bravo Two delivers torque-biased thrust for heavier loads, and Bravo Three (twin counter-rotating props) delivers the kind of premium dual-prop responsiveness that defines the upper tier of the sterndrive segment. The MerCruiser 6.2L MPI and the underlying GM 6.2L V8 architecture are among the most-supported, most-easily-serviced marine sterndrive powertrains in service. American Water Sports is fully equipped to support MerCruiser sterndrive service through our shop. For the current engine hour reading, exact Bravo outdrive configuration, and recent sterndrive service history on this specific 260 LS, please contact our Kimberling City team for the build specifics.
The Crownline 260 LS sits one size up from the more-common 240 LS variant in the Crownline lineup — and the additional 2 feet of length translates into meaningful real-world advantages for serious family-day use. The 260 LS delivers approximately 15-20% more cockpit volume than the 240 LS, meaningful additional passenger capacity, more storage, more useable interior space, and the kind of larger-platform stability that makes the boat work more confidently on Table Rock Lake's bigger water on windier days. The 6.2L MPI engine spec on the 260 LS vs the more-common 5.7L 350 Mag spec on the 240 LS is also a meaningful upgrade — more displacement and more torque are particularly valuable on the larger platform that carries more passenger weight and creates more hull drag. For the buyer who wants the premium-brand Crownline LS experience at a meaningfully larger and more-capable platform size, the 260 LS delivers what the 240 LS cannot — and the 26-foot footprint sits comfortably in the sweet spot of the premium-bowrider segment that defines current premium-runabout production (modern Cobalt R-Series, modern Regal RX, modern Chaparral SSX all dominate this 25-26 foot size class).
The 260 LS's 26-foot platform delivers the kind of family-day-versatile bowrider footprint that defines the upper end of the premium 24-26 foot segment. The cockpit layout is purpose-built for family-day-on-the-water duty — a wide-open premium bow lounge with wraparound seating, a midship cockpit with the helm position and companion seating up front, a generous aft lounge with wraparound cockpit seating around the engine cover, integrated cup holders and storage throughout, an integrated swim platform with boarding ladder, ski-tow eye for casual watersports duty, Bimini top sun cover (typical), and the kind of premium audio system, helm electronics, navigation light, and deck-hardware content the premium bowrider segment expects. LS-trim amenities that are typical for this configuration may include premium upholstery treatments, premium graphics packages, integrated sink and freshwater system, Porta-Potti or enclosed head facility, hydraulic trim tabs, dual-battery system, aluminum arch, and other LS-specific upgrades — please verify the specific equipment content on this 260 LS at walkthrough, as the standard equipment list varied between trim levels and factory option content. For specific upholstery condition, helm electronics spec, audio system configuration, and LS-trim equipment content on this specific 2007 260 LS, please contact our Kimberling City team for the build specifics.
Let's be honest about what a 19-year-old bowrider means in 2026: this is not a near-current-vintage build with as-delivered cosmetic and mechanical condition. This is a vintage premium-brand bowrider priced accordingly within the pre-owned runabout market — well below current-vintage Crownline production and below near-current-vintage premium 26-foot bowriders. What you're paying for at this price point is fundamentally a serviceable Crownline-branded premium fiberglass bowrider with the proven MerCruiser 6.2L MPI / Bravo sterndrive powertrain, the larger 26-foot LS-trim layout, and an accessible value entry into premium-brand vintage bowrider ownership at meaningfully more-capable scale than the more-common 24-foot LS alternatives. Cosmetic condition (gel coat, upholstery, canvas, accessory equipment), specific helm electronics condition, current engine hour reading, recent service history, and current outdrive condition will need to be evaluated in person — buyers should expect honest patina rather than as-delivered presentation, and should plan for the typical maintenance items that come with a vintage sterndrive bowrider. The good news is that Crownline's premium-tier build quality and the MerCruiser 6.2L MPI / Bravo combination are both well-positioned for long-term value retention and ongoing service support. For an in-person evaluation of overall condition, contact our Kimberling City team — at this vintage, in-person walkthrough is essential.
