4.3L Volvo Penta V6 • 19' Deckboat • 10-Person Capacity • Massive Rear Swim Platform • Humminbird Fish Finder • JBL Marine Audio • Bimini Top • Full Cover • Matching Trailer Included • Indoor Stored
If you're looking for a versatile family deckboat that packs an incredible amount of usable space into a manageable 19-foot package, this 2008 Starcraft 190 Starstep deserves a serious look.
The Starstep combines some of the best characteristics of a traditional fiberglass bowrider with the open, passenger-friendly layout of a deckboat. The result is a boat that's easy to trailer, launch, dock, and store while still providing the seating, storage, swim access, and entertaining space families want for full days on the lake.
This particular Starcraft has been stored indoors and presents extremely well for its age. The bright white fiberglass paired with bold yellow accents gives it a sporty appearance that still looks great today, while the coordinating white-and-yellow interior remains clean and attractive.
Power comes from a Volvo Penta 4.3L V6 sterndrive, providing the strong acceleration and smooth cruising performance needed for everything from family cruising and tubing to watersports and evening rides around the lake.
But one of the biggest highlights is at the stern.
For a boat in this size class, the massive integrated rear swim platform is impressive. It creates an enormous amount of usable space for swimming, boarding, gearing up for watersports, or simply sitting near the water while anchored at the sandbar.
Add in a 10-person capacity, Humminbird PiranhaMAX 4 fish finder, JBL marine audio system, built-in sink, removable table, Bimini top, full boat cover, and matching Starcraft trailer, and you've got an extremely complete family package that's ready for summer.
Volvo Penta 4.3L V6 Performance
At the heart of this Starcraft is a Volvo Penta 4.3L V6 sterndrive package, an excellent match for a family boat of this size.
The V6 provides the power needed for recreational boating while maintaining the smooth, predictable characteristics that make this boat enjoyable for both experienced boaters and families buying their first runabout.
Performance Highlights:
✔ Volvo Penta 4.3L V6
✔ Sterndrive Propulsion
✔ Strong Hole-Shot Acceleration
✔ Smooth Mid-Range Power
✔ Excellent Cruising Performance
✔ Power Trim & Tilt
✔ Great Watersports Capability
✔ Proven Marine V6 Platform
✔ Easy Engine Compartment Access
✔ Excellent All-Around Lake Performance
Whether you're pulling a tube, cruising with a full crew, or heading across the lake for dinner, the 4.3L Volvo gives this Starcraft plenty of usable power.
Massive Integrated Rear Swim Platform
One look at the back of this Starcraft and you'll immediately understand why the swim platform deserves its own section.
For a 19-foot boat, the amount of usable stern space is outstanding.
Because the Volvo Penta sterndrive keeps the engine tucked beneath the rear seating instead of hanging an outboard from the transom, Starcraft was able to create a huge molded fiberglass platform across the stern.
Swim Platform Features:
✔ Massive Integrated Fiberglass Platform
✔ Telescoping Boarding Ladder
✔ Wide Boarding Area
✔ Excellent Water Access
✔ Great Watersports Staging Area
✔ Perfect for Sandbar Days
✔ Easy Entry & Exit for Swimming
✔ Open, Uncluttered Stern
It's an ideal setup for families with kids, swimmers, tubers, skiers, or anyone who spends a lot of time anchored and enjoying the water.
When you're at the sandbar, this area essentially becomes an extension of the cockpit.
Spacious 10-Person Family Layout
Don't let the 19-foot size fool you.
The Starstep's deckboat-inspired design allows Starcraft to carry significantly more usable passenger space forward than you'd typically find in a conventional bowrider.
The boat is rated for up to 10 passengers, making it an excellent option for families who want plenty of seating without stepping into a much larger, heavier boat.
Interior Features:
✔ Rated for Up to 10 Passengers
✔ Spacious Forward Lounge Seating
✔ Open Cockpit Layout
✔ Comfortable Captain's Seat
✔ Wraparound Passenger Seating
✔ Large Rear Sun Pad
✔ Deep Interior Freeboard
✔ Multiple Cup Holders
✔ Excellent Storage Throughout
✔ Easy Movement from Bow to Stern
The wide forward area is especially impressive. Instead of feeling like a narrow traditional bow, it provides a legitimate social space where passengers can stretch out and relax.
Built-In Table - Perfect for Entertaining
The forward lounge becomes even more useful with the removable pedestal table.
Positioned directly between the seating areas, the table creates an excellent place for:
• Lunch on the lake
• Drinks & snacks
• Playing cards
• Entertaining friends
• Relaxing at the sandbar
• Family meals while anchored
It even incorporates four cup holders directly into the tabletop.
When you want maximum floor space, simply remove the table and open the area back up.
It's a simple feature that makes a major difference when you're spending an entire day aboard.
Built-In Sink & Entertainment Center
Another feature you don't commonly find on a boat this size is the molded cockpit sink with faucet.
Combined with the removable table, numerous cup holders, JBL stereo system, and spacious seating arrangement, it gives this Starcraft legitimate entertaining capability.
Entertainment Features:
✔ Molded Sink
✔ Integrated Faucet
✔ Removable Pedestal Table
✔ Integrated Table Cup Holders
✔ JBL Marine Audio
✔ Multiple Marine Speakers
✔ Spacious Social Seating
✔ Bimini Shade
This isn't simply a boat designed to drive around the lake-it's designed to be comfortable once you arrive at your destination too.
JBL Marine Audio System
A JBL marine audio system provides entertainment throughout the boat.
Multiple marine speakers are positioned around the cockpit, allowing everyone aboard to enjoy music whether you're underway, floating at the sandbar, or swimming off the rear platform.
Audio Highlights:
✔ JBL Marine Audio System
✔ Multiple Marine Speakers
✔ Convenient Helm Controls
✔ Excellent Cockpit Coverage
✔ Perfect for Cruising & Entertaining
Put on your favorite playlist, open the Bimini, and you've got an excellent setup for a full summer day.
Humminbird PiranhaMAX 4 Fish Finder
Mounted at the helm is a Humminbird PiranhaMAX 4 fish finder, adding useful depth and underwater information for the captain.
Whether you're looking for deeper water, checking bottom structure, finding a fishing spot, or simply keeping an eye on depth while exploring an unfamiliar lake, having a dedicated Humminbird display is a valuable addition.
Humminbird Benefits:
✔ Dedicated Fish Finder Display
✔ Depth Information
✔ Bottom & Structure Information
✔ Convenient Helm Location
✔ Useful for Fishing & General Navigation
It adds another layer of versatility to an already highly adaptable boat.
Comfortable Captain's Helm
The driver's station is laid out to keep everything important visible and within easy reach.
Helm Highlights:
✔ Full Analog Instrumentation
✔ Sport Steering Wheel
✔ Volvo Penta Throttle Controls
✔ Humminbird PiranhaMAX 4
✔ Marine Audio Controls
✔ Integrated Stainless Cup Holder
✔ Wraparound Windscreen
✔ Comfortable Captain's Seat
✔ Excellent Forward Visibility
The elevated driving position gives the captain a clear view around the boat, making docking, cruising, and watersports operation comfortable and intuitive.
Huge Rear Sun Pad
Directly ahead of the oversized swim platform is a large padded rear sun deck, creating another premium lounging area.
It's the perfect spot to stretch out while the boat is anchored, and its location directly beside the swim platform makes the entire stern feel like one large recreational area.
Rear Lounge Advantages:
✔ Large Padded Sun Deck
✔ Excellent Relaxation Area
✔ Direct Swim Platform Access
✔ Great Sandbar Layout
✔ Convenient Engine Compartment Location
✔ Excellent Use of Stern Space
Between the sun pad and extended swim platform, the back of this 19-footer provides the kind of recreational space you'd normally expect from a considerably larger boat.
Bimini Top Included
The Bimini top is included and in great condition, giving passengers valuable shade during long summer days.
Bimini Benefits:
✔ Large Shaded Cockpit Area
✔ Excellent Sun Protection
✔ Folding Design
✔ Great Condition
✔ Perfect for Full-Day Outings
When you want sunshine, fold it away. When the afternoon heat arrives, open it up and give everyone aboard a comfortable place to escape the sun.
Full Boat Cover Included
A full boat cover is also included and in great condition.
A quality cover is one of the most important accessories for maintaining a boat's upholstery and interior, and having one already fitted to the boat saves the next owner the expense and hassle of purchasing one separately.
Combined with the boat's history of indoor storage, it's easy to see why this Starcraft has remained so well preserved.
Indoor Stored & Well Cared For
Condition matters tremendously when buying a pre-owned boat, and this is an area where this Starcraft really shines.
The boat has been stored indoors, helping protect it from prolonged exposure to sunlight, rain, snow, and the elements.
The result is a boat that presents extremely well for a 2008 model.
Condition Highlights:
✔ Indoor Stored
✔ Clean Upholstery
✔ Strong Fiberglass Shine
✔ Clean Cockpit
✔ Well-Preserved Interior
✔ Attractive Original Color Combination
✔ Bimini in Great Condition
✔ Cover in Great Condition
✔ Matching Trailer Included
The bold white-and-yellow color package gives this Starcraft a sporty personality and carries through the boat, interior, and trailer for a coordinated factory appearance.
Matching Starcraft Trailer Included
Unlike listings where the trailer is an additional expense, the matching Starcraft trailer is included with this boat.
The yellow-painted trailer coordinates perfectly with the boat's yellow exterior accents, creating a sharp-looking complete package both on and off the water.
Trailer Benefits:
✔ Matching Starcraft Trailer
✔ Included in the Sale
✔ Coordinated Yellow Finish
✔ Easy Transportation
✔ Convenient Launching & Retrieval
✔ Winter Storage Flexibility
✔ Ability to Explore Multiple Lakes
✔ Complete Boat, Motor & Trailer Package
Hook it up and head wherever the weekend takes you.
Built for Every Kind of Summer Day
One of the biggest reasons to consider the Starstep 190 is that you don't have to buy it for one specific activity.
This Starcraft is equally at home:
• Family Cruising
• Tubing
• Water Skiing
• Kneeboarding
• Swimming
• Fishing
• Sandbar Days
• Entertaining Friends
• Lake-Hopping
• Sunset Cruises
• Weekend Cabin Trips
• Relaxing on the Water
The manageable 19-foot size keeps ownership simple while the deckboat layout gives you the functionality of something considerably larger.
Why This Starcraft 190 Starstep Stands Out
Finding a clean, indoor-stored family deckboat that's already packaged with its major accessories isn't always easy.
This Starcraft combines:
✔ Volvo Penta 4.3L V6
✔ 19-Foot Deckboat Layout
✔ 10-Person Capacity
✔ Massive Integrated Swim Platform
✔ Large Rear Sun Pad
✔ Telescoping Boarding Ladder
✔ Humminbird PiranhaMAX 4
✔ JBL Marine Audio System
✔ Built-In Sink & Faucet
✔ Removable Pedestal Table
✔ Spacious Forward Lounge
✔ Bimini Top Included
✔ Full Boat Cover Included
✔ Matching Starcraft Trailer Included
✔ Indoor Stored
✔ Excellent Overall Presentation
It's a complete package that gives you the versatility of a deckboat without requiring the storage space, tow vehicle, or operating costs associated with a much larger boat.
Comparing Family Deckboats?
If you're shopping for a Hurricane SunDeck, Sea Ray SunDeck, Four Winns Funship, Chaparral Sunesta, Crownline deckboat, Tahoe, Stingray, Glastron, Bayliner, or other fiberglass deck boat or bowrider, this Starcraft Starstep 190 deserves to be on your list.
Its combination of Volvo Penta V6 power, 10-person capacity, huge swim platform, entertainment features, manageable 19-foot size, and complete trailer package gives it tremendous versatility for the money.
Sun Sport Marine Inspection
Like every boat we sell at Sun Sport Marine, this Starcraft has been thoroughly inspected by our service department before being offered for sale.
We specialize in quality pre-owned boats and work hard to eliminate much of the uncertainty that can come with purchasing directly from a private seller.
Our team inspects the major operating systems, professionally prepares the boat for sale, and gives buyers access to the additional advantages of purchasing through an established dealership.
The Bottom Line
This 2008 Starcraft 190 Starstep packs an impressive amount of functionality into a manageable 19-foot platform.
You get the performance of a Volvo Penta 4.3L V6, seating for up to 10 passengers, a massive integrated swim platform, huge rear sun pad, spacious forward seating, built-in table, cockpit sink, Humminbird electronics, JBL marine audio, Bimini top, full cover, and matching trailer-all in one complete package.
Even better, it has been stored indoors and shows the kind of care that's becoming increasingly difficult to find on boats of this age.
Whether your perfect summer day involves pulling tubes with the kids, swimming off the back, meeting friends at the sandbar, cruising to dinner, fishing in the morning, or watching the sunset from the lake, this Starcraft gives you the flexibility to do it all.
