You can't beat a deck boat for versatility. From towing water skiers and wakeboarders to accommodating a group for an evening cruise, a deck boat can do it all. Plus, deck boats have evolved from their once slightly generic and dull nature to stylish performers with enough goodies to please the most pampered owners.Case in point? The Crownline 238 DB, which helps set the standard for today's thoroughly modern deck boats. At 23 feet by 7 inches long and 8 feet by 6 inches wide, the 238 DB boasts exceptional features including an enclosed head compartment with screened potholes and an electric vent and an entertainment center with a dedicated cooler stowage area.The boat's entertainment center also includes a galley with a sink and a waste container. Its freshwater system has a 10-gallon capacity, which should be more than adequate for evening cruises, as should the expansive wraparound seating. For stashing gear, there are stowage lockers under almost every seat in the boat.
Thanks to folding ladders in their own lockers on the bow and stern, boarding can be done from either end of the boat. The bow features integrated steps leading to a lounge area ahead of the cockpit while a transom door aft provides access to the rear lounge.The helm of the 238 DB features a tilt steering wheel. All gauges are in clear view located in the dash above the wheel. For an upscale look, woodgrain dash panels are offered. A windscreen atop the dash provides protection for the driver when the boat is underway.The 4,400-pound deck boat can accommodate up to a 310-horespower engine.
