    Removing leaf stains

    We had our Crownline for 6 years and the vinyl looked brand new when we sold it. Just bought an Avalon pontoon and after two weeks I have three spots on the seats I can't get up. Are these seats that much cheaper or what! Any ideas on removing them Thanks, Todd

    Boat Weight Question

    I have a question regarding Dry weight. From different post and articles I read Crownline is noted to be a heavy boat. On the CL website they list the 200LS at a dry weight of 3400-3600lbs.
