Our analysis

🛥️ This Draco Crystal 250, a 7.80 m open built in 1996, has a timeless Scandinavian design renowned for its solid construction and sea keeping qualities.
The overall condition is very good for a unit of this generation, with new exterior upholstery completed in 2025 that immediately enhances the presentation.
The cockpit is spacious and ergonomic, with a raised cockpit well protected by a large glass surface, offering comfort and excellent visibility.
The whole package is clean, uniform and ready to use.

Engines & technology

⚙️ The unit is powered by a 260 bhp MerCruiser 5.7 MPI, replaced in 2010, with around 300 hours on the clock - a very reassuring mechanical point.
This petrol engine is renowned for its pleasant driveability, reliability and torque, perfectly suited to the programme of this open.
The Z-drive propulsion system is consistent with its intended use, and the boat is delivered with engine and base serviced, with fairing and hull polish, so you can get to grips with it straight away without any work to do.

Price positioning analysis

👎 Low range: tired units, deferred maintenance, old engine, refit required
👉 Core market: properly maintained units, standard condition
👍 Top of the market: units monitored, engine replaced or significant refit, consistent and reassuring condition
With an engine replaced in just a few hours, recent engine and baseplate overhauls, new upholstery and no work to be done, this Draco Crystal 250 is in the upper echelons of the market.
A price in line with this positioning is coherent and defensible, with good visibility of short- and medium-term costs.
