Starcraft Marine Aurora Star Step 190 IO 2007 vs Starcraft Marine Fishmaster 196 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Starcraft Marine Aurora Star Step 190 IO 2007 vs Starcraft Marine Fishmaster 196 2022 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.
The Starcraft Marine Aurora Star Step 190 IO 2007 carries a rated maximum of 4 hp. Engine data for the Starcraft Marine Fishmaster 196 2022 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Starcraft Marine Aurora Star Step 190 IO 2007 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Starcraft Marine Fishmaster 196 2022 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 Aurora Star Step 190 IO 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Starcraft Marine Aurora Star Step 190 IO 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
