Starcraft Marine

From cruising to water sports and everything in between, the Starcraft SLS 5 DC is another great family option for that perfect day trip out on the lake.

It features two facing lounges both at the bow and at the aft sections, rotocast seat bases with integrated drains, lots of storage underneath the seats, a changing room, 4 deck cleats, and your standard Bimini top.

If water sports are your thing, then you’re gonna love the expansive stern deck, which comes equipped with a ski pylon as well as a boarding ladder.

An optional rear stereo remote along with a pair of speakers can be added for more fun and convenience.

Amidships, you’ll find a dual-console layout with a high-back helm chair, hydraulic steering, a tilt steering wheel, AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, Auxiliary MP3 ports, speakers, and an amp/subwoofer.

It comes standard with the HMX PR25 performance package and the SLS means the outboard tubes have inboard lifting strakes while the center tube has strakes on the outboard side. These lifting strakes give this pontoon boat an excellent performance reaching over 46 mph when rigged with a Yamaha 250 HP VMAX outboard.
