Starcraft Fishing Boats For Sale

Starcraft fishing boats span a lineup built for everything from a child's first day on the water to serious open-water trolling, and the range makes it straightforward to match a hull to how you actually fish. The 186 Super Fisherman works as a convertible bow rider with removable bow pads that clear out for a sturdy center casting deck, while the Delta 178 FXS fish and ski and the big-water Fish Master 196 sit at opposite ends of the spectrum. Across the models you find aerated live wells, lockable rod storage and pre-wired trolling motor setups, so anyone shopping Starcraft fishing boats for sale can find a rig sized to a small lake or to the Great Lakes. Walleye anglers in particular gravitate toward the deeper trolling-capable hulls.

The Fish Master 196 is the dedicated big-water Starcraft fishing boat, measuring 19 feet 9 inches with a 100-inch beam and 49 inches of depth. It carries a 41-gallon aerated live well, a dry tackle box in the bow, and an open cockpit that seats up to six behind the windshield with two captain's chairs and two fold-up jump seats from the factory. Cutout transoms with a gunwale to lean against make netting fish and setting lines easier in heavy chop, and the integrated track accepts rod trees that hold up to twelve rods. Rated to 200 horsepower, one rig fitted with an Evinrude G2 HO pushes the boat to about 53 miles an hour, and Starcraft's power track hull moves the dead rise aft to slice through waves.

The Delta 178 FXS is the new-generation fish and ski, 17 feet 11 inches long with a 96-inch beam and a dry weight of 1,787 pounds, light enough to trailer and fit most garages. It rates up to 150 horsepower and rides on Starcraft's Generation 2 VPS hull, which adds a flat pad at the stern for a faster hole shot and quicker plane on less power. A 115 handles the chop, with a step up to 150 available for more punch. The boat comes with a quick-disconnect trolling motor bracket, slide-open console storage, drainage tracks running both port and starboard, and a rear casting platform flanked by jump seats that seats four comfortably.

For smaller water and family use, the SV16 is a 16-foot package that cruises at 18 and 24 miles an hour and reaches a top end of 38 mph at 5,800 RPM. It seats three full-size adults across a full-width center bench, carries non-skid flooring, grab rails, a Wet Sounds stereo, nine cup holders, a four-step telescoping reboarding ladder and a matte-black marine tower for tubing. The 186 Super Fisherman, by contrast, prioritizes fishing function: a full vinyl cockpit floor, an insulated and lockable in-floor rod box for up to six rods plus a second lockable locker for three more, an aerated bow live well, and high-back helm seats with an air-lift system. Its analog gauge package includes speedo, tach, voltmeter, fuel and a dash-mounted compass, with cruising found around 19 to 24 miles an hour.

Build quality and rigging flexibility come up repeatedly in owner experience. A Delta 188 rigged with a Suzuki 90 reported low fuel burn over five years of hard use on the Detroit River and Lake Erie, set up with a 36-volt Minn Kota Ulterra for fighting current, a Honda 99 kicker added later, a large fuel tank and high live-well capacity. The open-concept consoles flush-mount sonar such as a 9-inch unit, and the integrated tracks let owners add rod holders, planer-board gear and suspension seats. Anyone weighing used Starcraft fishing boats for sale should confirm the trolling-motor voltage, battery and charging setup, and engine pairing, since those are the details owners customize most heavily to match their fishing.
