New Boat - 2024 - Comfort and Style

FUNNY GIRL is a 2024 Starcraft SVX 191 OB. It's the ideal "Deck Boat" design, tailored for family adventures, offering the seating comfort of a pontoon boat with the speed of a sport boat on the open water. With its spacious layout, fore and aft swim platforms and boarding ladders, it's perfect for hanging out at the sandbar or beaching in shallow waters.
