Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Starcraft Marine CX 23 DL BAR 2022 vs Starcraft Marine D Star 160 DLX T 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Starcraft Marine CX 23 DL BAR 2022 vs Starcraft Marine D Star 160 DLX T 2005 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 Starcraft Marine D Star 160 DLX T 2005 tops out at 60 hp. Engine specs for the Starcraft Marine CX 23 DL BAR 2022 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Starcraft Marine CX 23 DL BAR 2022 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Starcraft Marine D Star 160 DLX T 2005 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Starcraft Marine CX 23 DL BAR 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Starcraft Marine CX 23 DL BAR 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Starcraft Marine D Star 160 DLX T 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
