Engine data for the Starcraft Marine Star Step I/O Series 2009 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Starcraft Marine Star Step I/O Series 2009 carries 51 gallons versus 32 gallons in the Starcraft Marine C-Star 170 FS 2005.
