Starcraft SVX Deck Boats For Sale

The Starcraft SVX is a line of deck boats built around a wide beam carried all the way forward, giving small hulls more usable space than their length suggests. The range spans the compact SVX 171 at roughly 17 feet 8 inches with an 8-foot-5 beam, the SVX 191 at 19 feet, and the larger SVX 231 outboard. Capacities scale with size: the 171 is rated for about 1,400 pounds or 10 people, while the 191 holds up to 12. Each stays trailerable, which is part of the appeal for families who want one boat for tubing, water skiing, cruising and rafting up at the sandbar. Shoppers looking at Starcraft deck boats for sale will find the same deck-boat layout philosophy across every hull in the series.

Performance comes from a dihedral modified pad V hull, a trihull design with a deep V down the centerline that tapers to a moderate 14-degree deadrise at the stern. The pad adds lift and helps top-end speed, while the trihull shape keeps the boat stable at rest with a crowd aboard. Power is by outboard, with options from Yamaha, Suzuki and Mercury depending on the model. The Starcraft 19 SVX deck boat runs well on a 150-horsepower outboard and can be upgraded to 175 for extra muscle. The SVX 231 pairs with Yamaha's 250 V-Max SHO and gets on plane hard, reaching 28 mph at around 3,300 rpm at roughly an eighth throttle. The 171 typically runs a Honda 115 in the 30 mph range.

The helm is a side-console arrangement rather than a dual console, which frees the port side for a wraparound L-lounge. The captain's station uses a high-back swivel seat with a flip-up bolster, tilt steering, a leather-wrapped wheel on the SVX 231, and easy-reach rocker switches. Gauges include speedometer, tachometer, voltmeter and fuel level. Audio is a standard Wet Sounds stereo with four speakers, with a JL Audio system available as an upgrade that carries through the interior and into the tower. There is space to flush-mount a 9-inch Humminbird display, and the 171 can come fitted with a Humminbird Helix 5 combining chart, GPS and fish finder.

Deck layout centers on SeaDeck flooring standard on both bow and stern swim platforms, with a cockpit-wide SeaDeck upgrade available. The extended rear platform holds molded-in boarding steps, a reboarding ladder, an ice chest and a tidy engine well. A bow hatch hides a telescoping swim ladder and a draining storage box near the anchor locker. Storage sits under every seat cushion, in both consoles, and in an in-floor ski locker. The side-console sink station adds cup holders and a USB port, with an optional faucet and a 3-gallon freshwater tank. A Bimini top is standard, and a sport arch or elevated tow arch is offered for water sports.

Inside, deep wraparound bow lounges and midship seating let four or five people spread out, and the 191 seats its full crew comfortably. The SVX 231 offers more than 35 inches of freeboard from the bow backrest down to the floor, a meaningful safety margin for families with kids aboard. Grab rails are placed throughout, including stainless steel bow rails on boats with the executive package.

When comparing Starcraft SVX boats, the option packages drive much of the value. The executive package adds a single-color painted hull, stainless steel rub rail, black badging and choice of gray, tan or black vinyl. A fishing package brings removable pedestal seats for bow and stern, rod holders in the ski locker, a built-in livewell and the option of a Humminbird sounder. The 171 walkthrough transom and removable ski pylon make a compact deck boat for sale easy to board for swimming and water sports. Buyers weighing a Starcraft deck boat should match horsepower to crew size and confirm whether SeaDeck, audio and tow-arch upgrades are already fitted.
