We Say: At my house, everyone gathers at the kitchen bar, and the same is bound to happen aboard the Starcraft Majestic 256 Starliner. With two faux granite bars aft and an optional pop-up flat-screen TV, it attracts a crowd. But this is just the start.
Grab your drink and head forward. In the bow’s social center is a pair of facing soft-touch-vinyl loungers and a central snack table. Inside the port lounger resides a pop-up privacy room. Step aft again to the extended swim platform with a built-in boarding ladder. Enjoy water sports? Hook up your tow line to the standard stainless-steel tow bar. A four-speaker Polk Audio system lets you keep the party going, whether shredding the wake or side-tied at the sandbar.
The thickly padded captain’s chair with fold-up armrests serves as the perfect perch for piloting this ’toon, with its optional HMX performance package that includes a center tube and strakes that generate extra lift. Powered by an Evinrude E-TEC 250 HO, the Starcraft Majestic 256 Starliner is no rocket, but it still accelerates from zero to 30 mph in 9.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 39.1 mph. Thanks to the HMX package, it banks confidently into turns like a V-hull.
Who’d Want One: Families who enjoy cruising, entertaining and water sports.
Another Choice: The Manitou 25 Legacy SRS ($74,000 with Evinrude E-TEC 300 and center tube) lacks a bar, let alone two.
Bottom Line: $68,399 (with test power); starcraftmarine.com
