Matching a tri-hull Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2012 against a pontoon Starcraft Marine Majestic 236 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely 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 Majestic 236 2013 measures 24,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2012 at 21,6 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Starcraft Marine Majestic 236 2013 tips the scales at 228 lbs — 193 lbs less than the Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2012 at 35 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 320 hp, the Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2012 has a 170-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine Majestic 236 2013'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 Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2012 carries 75 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Starcraft Marine Majestic 236 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 13 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 Majestic 236 2013 at 24,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2012 at 21,6 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.
