Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Starcraft Marine C-Star 1800 I/O 2004 vs Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Starcraft Marine C-Star 1800 I/O 2004 vs Starcraft Marine SLS 3 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 has a 231-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine C-Star 1800 I/O 2004's 19-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 C-Star 1800 I/O 2004 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Starcraft Marine C-Star 1800 I/O 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Starcraft Marine C-Star 1800 I/O 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
