Where to buy Starcraft SLS 3 Tritoon:

Starcraft Marine

The Starcraft SLS series is a middle-of-the-road pontoon boat line that represents an outstanding value for the boater. In short, these boats come loaded with great options and are available in various sizes and layouts to suit anyone. You can spec out your SLS as either a 1 (21’8″ LOA), 3 (24’8″ LOA), or 5 (26’8″ LOA).

Further, the 3 and 5-series boats are available in dual-console, dual-helm, or rear lounger versions. We like the Q, which has the large double swing back sun lounge aft and another swing back up front.

It’s designed with a HMX Third Tube for faster planing and a more efficient ride that can do surprisingly well on 150 hp. The ski pylon comes standard, making this a great family boat for long days in the sun and playing on the water.
