2021 Starcraft SVX171

Slide behind the wheel of this SVX171 and you’ll feel like you’re in a much bigger boat, thanks to the smart deck layout and generous freeboard. The wraparound cockpit seating and forward lounge space make it easy to keep everyone in the conversation while underway or at anchor. The helm is thoughtfully arranged so the Garmin sits right where you need it, without crowding your gauges or switches. Wide swim platforms and an easy boarding ladder invite quick dips in the water, and the non-skid surfaces keep things sure-footed when kids are climbing in and out. It’s the kind of package that makes spontaneous afternoon cruises effortless.

The SVX171 shines in local waters where you’re mixing no-wake zones, busy weekend traffic, and open stretches to run. Its compact length slips into tighter marina slips and smaller driveways, yet the beamy deck layout still gives you true “bring-the-crew” capacity. The hull design handles afternoon chop with more confidence than many runabouts this size, and the open bow is ideal for sandbar rafting and quiet coves. Shallow draft lets you nose in close to the beach, while the outboard power keeps maintenance straightforward. For boaters who want big-boat versatility in a size that’s easy to tow, launch, and store, this model is an excellent match.
