Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Starcraft Marine 1900 RE 2008 vs Starcraft Marine Limited 2009 OB 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Starcraft Marine 1900 RE 2008 vs Starcraft Marine Limited 2009 OB 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Starcraft Marine 1900 RE 2008 measures 21,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 19,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Starcraft Marine Limited 2009 OB 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Starcraft Marine Limited 2009 OB 2007 tips the scales at 2 405 lbs — 2 384 lbs less than the Starcraft Marine 1900 RE 2008 at 21 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 350 hp, the Starcraft Marine 1900 RE 2008 has a 125-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine Limited 2009 OB 2007's 225-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 Limited 2009 OB 2007 carries 51 gallons versus 45 gallons in the Starcraft Marine 1900 RE 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Starcraft Marine Limited 2009 OB 2007 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Starcraft Marine 1900 RE 2008 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Starcraft Marine Limited 2009 OB 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Starcraft Marine Limited 2009 OB 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Starcraft Marine 1900 RE 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
