Starcraft Aurora Deck Boats For Sale

The Starcraft Aurora deck boat is a family-oriented sterndrive deck boat built around open seating and a 12-person capacity. Documented examples include the 2003 Starcraft Aurora 2000 deck boat and the 2006 Starcraft Aurora deck boat, both carrying the wide beam forward that gives deck boats their roomy bow lounging. Buyers looking at a Starcraft Aurora deck boat for sale will find a swim platform off the bow with a three-step telescoping boarding ladder, so you can nose up to a sandbar and step off without climbing over the side, plus side access and a walk-through transom at the stern.

Power on these boats comes from a 4.3-liter V6 sterndrive. The 2003 Starcraft Aurora 2000 deck boat is driven by a 190-horsepower Mercury MerCruiser 4.3-liter inboard/outboard, while the 2006 Starcraft Aurora deck boat carries a 4.3-liter Volvo Penta. Both versions are typically sold with a tandem-axle trailer; the 2003 example rides on an Easy Loader bunk trailer with a swivel jack, 13-inch wheels, bearing buddies, composite fenders and tie-down straps.

The helm is a single console with a removable windshield section and tilt steering. Instrumentation includes a speedometer, tachometer, voltmeter, fuel, oil pressure, engine temperature and trim gauges, with lighted helm switches for night running. The captain's seat is wide and both slides and swivels, with a flip-up bolster for a raised driving position. Audio on the 2003 boat is a Boss AM/FM stereo with CD player and auxiliary input, and Garmin GPS navigation and a VHF radio are features seen on rigged Starcraft deck boats.

The cockpit and deck layout is built for a crowd and for storage. The floor is non-slip fiberglass with snap-out marine carpeting, and there is in-floor ski and board storage running down the center. A lay-back starboard couch and a port-side couch both have storage underneath, the port couch's middle cushion lifts out over a step for boarding, and a stern bench seat sits ahead of the engine compartment with more storage below. The bow holds a cooler with a drain, and the deck adds an anchor locker, buoy storage, four stainless mooring plates, a ski and tow hook, interior lights and beverage holders. A color-coordinated Bimini top, docking lights and a recessed-ladder stern swim platform round out the package.

Shoppers comparing a 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 or 2005 Starcraft Aurora 2000 deck boat will be looking at boats now around two decades old, so condition matters more than model year. Check the upholstery for staining and small imperfections, and inspect the trailer closely: a steel trailer that served fine on freshwater lakes can rust badly once used in saltwater, and replacement with a dual-axle aluminum or galvanized trailer is a common upgrade. With its bow swim platform, walk-through transom and 4.3-liter sterndrive power, the Starcraft Aurora remains a practical used deck boat for day trips and beaching.
