Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Starcraft Marine Limited 236 Starport 2013 vs Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Starcraft Marine Limited 236 Starport 2013 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 100-hp advantage over the Starcraft Marine Limited 236 Starport 2013's 150-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 Limited 236 Starport 2013 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Starcraft Marine Limited 236 Starport 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Starcraft Marine Limited 236 Starport 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 24,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Starcraft Marine SLS 3 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
