Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Starcraft Marine Limited 1700 OB 2010 vs Starcraft Marine Limited 1900 RE 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Starcraft Marine Limited 1700 OB 2010 vs Starcraft Marine Limited 1900 RE 2007 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Starcraft Marine Limited 1900 RE 2007 measures 21,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 4,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Starcraft Marine Limited 1700 OB 2010 at 16,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Starcraft Marine Limited 1700 OB 2010 tips the scales at 152 lbs — 131 lbs more than the Starcraft Marine Limited 1900 RE 2007 at 21 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 350 hp, the Starcraft Marine Limited 1900 RE 2007 has a 220-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine Limited 1700 OB 2010's 130-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 Limited 1900 RE 2007 carries 45 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Starcraft Marine Limited 1700 OB 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Starcraft Marine Limited 1900 RE 2007 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Starcraft Marine Limited 1700 OB 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Starcraft Marine Limited 1900 RE 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Starcraft Marine Limited 1900 RE 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Starcraft Marine Limited 1700 OB 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
