The Starcraft Marine 1900 C 2010 is a modified-V design and the Starcraft Marine Limited 226 2011 is a pontoon design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Starcraft Marine Limited 226 2011 measures 22,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Starcraft Marine 1900 C 2010 at 19,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Starcraft Marine 1900 C 2010 tips the scales at 2 718 lbs - 768 lbs more than the Starcraft Marine Limited 226 2011 at 1 950 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Starcraft Marine 1900 C 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine Limited 226 2011's 150-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Starcraft Marine 1900 C 2010 carries 50 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Starcraft Marine Limited 226 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 11 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Starcraft Marine Limited 226 2011 at 22,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Starcraft Marine 1900 C 2010 at 19,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
