2021 Starcraft Marine SLS 1

Starcraft SLS 1: A Spacious Performance Pontoon for Family and Friends

1. General Information

The Starcraft SLS 1 is an outboard-powered aluminium pontoon boat from Starcraft Marine of the United States, part of the SLS series. At about 6.6 metres long with a 2.59-metre beam, it offers a wide, stable deck for up to eleven people, making it a natural choice for family days, entertaining and watersports.

It is an open day boat with no cabin, so the whole deck serves as living space, ideal for lakes, rivers and sheltered inshore waters.

2. Construction and Design

The SLS 1 rides on 25-inch-diameter aluminium pontoon tubes with an all-aluminium transom, and the deck is built from three-quarter-inch marine-grade plywood. Starcraft backs the tubes, deck and transom with a lifetime warranty.

Furniture sits on rotocast bases with integrated drains, and the series offers features such as hydraulic steering, a high-back helm chair, a windscreen, a table with cupholders, a Bluetooth-ready stereo and an integrated ski tow. With a dry weight of around 932 kilograms, it is light for its size.

3. Key Features

Room for eleven: a wide 2.59-metre beam gives everyone space to relax.

25-inch aluminium tubes: large-diameter tubes provide buoyancy and a stable ride, with a lifetime warranty.

Up to 200 hp: outboard power ranging from a 150 hp package to 200 hp for livelier performance.

Easy-clean deck: drained furniture bases and woven vinyl flooring are simple to maintain.

4. Summary

The Starcraft SLS 1 is aimed at families and groups of friends who want a roomy, well-equipped pontoon with the option of stronger outboard power for tubing and watersports on lakes and rivers.
