Matching a deep vee Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2013 against a tri-hull Starcraft Marine Crossover 240 SCX I/O 2012 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2013 at 21,6 ft versus Starcraft Marine Crossover 240 SCX I/O 2012 at 24,3 ft. At 35 lbs and 37 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 430 hp, the Starcraft Marine Crossover 240 SCX I/O 2012 has a 110-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2013's 320-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 240 SCX I/O 2012 carries 75 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 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 Crossover 240 SCX I/O 2012 at 24,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX I/O 2013 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.
