Hi everybody, I am considering buing a used Crownline 250 or Regal 256
Commodore (models around 1995), to use at sea here in Greece, where we
get 4-5 Beauforts very easily at summer and there is short but
persisting waves at 1 meter (~3 feet).
Can anyody share their experience at other than flat lake/river water,
please? Does someone know the deadrise of those age models?
Thanks in advance and regards!

For $29.95 US you can download the pdf version of the Trailerboat
Guide. That's the book somebody would need to have on hand and look
into to answer your question about deadrise- (assuming that nobody has
deadrise figures committed to memory for 10-12 year old boats).

You can also search Yachtworld and other classified ad sites to see if
people are mentioning deadrise for those models, but be careful with
that approach. I recently was looking for a deadrise figure on an older
boat and got 3 different "unofficial" claims that varied by a total of
8 degrees! The Traileboat Guide would at least be accurate.
