Starcraft 19 SVX Deck Boats For Sale

The Starcraft 19 SVX deck boat, sold as the SVX 191, is a 19-foot trailerable deck boat rated to carry up to 12 people, making it suited to families who want one boat for cruising, tubing, water skiing, wake surfing and rafting up at the sandbar. The deck boat layout carries the beam all the way forward, which opens up far more seating and floor space than a typical 19-foot hull. The bow has deep wraparound lounges with a built-in box near the anchor locker for ropes or a small anchor, plus midship seating that keeps crew in the mix. Owners who fish but don't want a dedicated fishing boat gravitate to this model because it handles both jobs.

Performance comes from a dihedral modified-pad V hull that holds stability at rest when the boat is loaded with people, while the pad adds lift and helps top-end speed. The standard engine is a Yamaha 150 horsepower outboard, with an upgrade to 175 horsepower available for more muscle; some owners have rigged the SVX 191 with a Mercury outboard instead, chosen partly for quieter running. The hull is described as sporty and responsive with the 150 fitted, and it handles chop without trouble.

The helm centers on a highback swivel captain's chair with a flip-up bolster, two large multifunction gauges that are easy to read, tilt steering, well-labeled rocker switches and the throttle within easy reach behind a protective windshield. Audio is a standard Wet Sounds stereo with four speakers, with a JL Audio system available as an upgrade, and a remote at the helm. A USB port at the prep station charges phones. The port console holds a compact sink, upgradable to one with a faucet and freshwater system, plus cup holders and a grab handle for moving between the bow and cockpit.

Storage is a standout for the size: there are compartments under every seat cushion, an in-floor ski locker, both consoles, dedicated fender storage and a separate compartment for the telescopic ladder. The fishing package adds pedestal seats that install in the bow and on the stern platform, built-in rod holders in the ski locker, a live well in the step up to the bow and an optional Humminbird sounder at the helm. A heavily braced ski tow bar sits aft over the L-shaped stern seating.

Both the bow and stern platforms are finished with SeaDek for comfortable footing, and molded-in steps plus bow and stern ladders, both telescopic, make getting back aboard easy from the water. Grab rails are placed throughout for safety. The removable, snap-out floor mat lifts away to bare fiberglass for quick cleaning, which helps with kids and spills. The executive package brings a single colored hull, such as bright red, black interior badging and two-tone gray or tan vinyl.

Positioned as a price-point deck boat, the SVX 191 keeps a long list of features while staying accessible, which is part of why it sells well to first-time buyers. Shoppers searching for Starcraft deck boats for sale, including used Starcraft deck boats and dealer inventory in Hudson, NH, should weigh which engine and which packages, executive and fishing, are fitted, since those options shape the price and how the boat is equipped for the day.
