Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Starcraft Marine Deluxe 13 DLX 2011 vs Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Starcraft Marine Deluxe 13 DLX 2011 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 225-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine Deluxe 13 DLX 2011's 25-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 SLS 3 2022 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Starcraft Marine Deluxe 13 DLX 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Starcraft Marine Deluxe 13 DLX 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
