Where to buy Starcraft Alaskan 15 DLX:

Starcraft Marine

If you’re looking for something more rugged and less flashy than the Starcraft fishing boats, their utility boats are where you’ll want to look. These rugged aluminum hulls are built to take you anywhere. They’re light easy to transport, yet handle a chop and can take a beating. In short, they’re some of the best jon boats you’ll find anywhere.

The king of them is the Starcraft Alaskan, a utility boat with a tall bow and high freeboard that immediately looks suitable for the Alaskan wilderness. The center bench is split, allowing more space to move around and more floor space for casting lines and nets. Attach your choice of 25 or 30-horsepower outboard, and this little boat will find all the best honey holes, no matter where you point the bow.

Starcraft has been riveting and welding Alaskians for a long time. If you’re in the market for one, you’ll have plenty of choices on both the new and used markets. These boats are an exceptional value new and hold that value well over the years.
