When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Starcraft Marine 190 I/O 2010 and the Starcraft Marine SF DLX 168 Pro Troller 2013 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 220 hp, the Starcraft Marine 190 I/O 2010 has a 160-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine SF DLX 168 Pro Troller 2013'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 190 I/O 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Starcraft Marine SF DLX 168 Pro Troller 2013 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 190 I/O 2010 could be the deciding factor.
