Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Starcraft Marine 168 Pro Troller 2012 vs Starcraft Marine 246 4 Point RE CR 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Starcraft Marine 168 Pro Troller 2012 against a pontoon Starcraft Marine 246 4 Point RE CR 2008 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 125 hp, the Starcraft Marine 246 4 Point RE CR 2008 has a 65-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine 168 Pro Troller 2012's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Starcraft Marine 246 4 Point RE CR 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Starcraft Marine 168 Pro Troller 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Starcraft Marine 246 4 Point RE CR 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Starcraft Marine 246 4 Point RE CR 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Starcraft Marine 168 Pro Troller 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
