Matching a tri-hull Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX OB 2012 against a modified vee Starcraft Marine Limited DC 2410 OB 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 OB 2012 at 21,6 ft versus Starcraft Marine Limited DC 2410 OB 2012 at 24,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Starcraft Marine Limited DC 2410 OB 2012 tips the scales at 3 075 lbs — 3 040 lbs less than the Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX OB 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 250 hp for the Starcraft Marine Crossover 220 SCX OB 2012 and 250 hp for the Starcraft Marine Limited DC 2410 OB 2012. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 75 gal and 75 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

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.
