Starcraft must be feeling the same way about the reimagined SX 25. A sleek new molded fiberglass exterior instantly vaults the craft into the flagship realm in terms of style. Time on the water proved construction and obvious attention to detail in the build were also top-notch, with a solid ride and nary a rattle to be heard whether railing through corners or romping at full speed across the waves. Mercury\u2019s 400 hp V-10 Verado XL proved a worthy last piece of the puzzle. It woke from a whisper-quiet slumber at idle to move swiftly through the powerband. The end result may be the most complete, most impressive pontoon we\u2019ve tested to date from the Indiana builder.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-10-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Starcraft SX 25 Q DC helm\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-10-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-10-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-10-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-10-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-10.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The dash\u2019s dominant feature is a standard, ultra-wide Simrad NSX display.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Bill Doster<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interior and Accessories\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>As you\u2019d expect, that remodeled perimeter enclosure proves the boldest part of the plan. As has become the trend among flagship models, molded walls replace old-school aluminum fencing and panels. Starcraft takes a minimalist approach, relying on sleek, modern fiberglass surfaces with a contrasting inset along side walls and angled accents at the bow\u2014on our test boat, all were finished in an attractive steel blue with a matte finish. Small, but bright, LED docking and navigation lights are integrated forward; aft, Starcraft\u2019s RGB-illuminated logo adds a touch of pop. Blacked-out TaylorMade windshield frames, top rails, aft fencing, and skirting enhance the upscale vibe. The pontoons, however, make a subtle statement. Rather than simply blacked-out, they were stylishly paint-matched to the steel-blue walls. In a sea of competitive flagships at the dock, the latter proved eye-catching.<\/p>\n<p>Step aboard. Heavily bolstered bow couches are finished like all furniture in a cognac shade of cool-touch vinyl that revealed a leather-like look and feel. Contrasting quilted accent panels are found in the lumbar region, broken up by insets housing cup holders and USB\/USB-C charging ports. Hinged seats lift to access roto-molded storage and, in a practical nod, stay open to make life easier when juggling an armload of gear. New for \u201926, flip-down armrests increase comfort when in the forward-facing lounges. Don\u2019t miss the clever drop-leaf table. Open, it holds ample food and drink, but drop the side leaves and the centerline cup holders remain while pathways are opened up for passengers to pass when boarding or exiting via the front gate or just simply moving fore and aft.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-07-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Starcraft SX 25 Q DC bow seating\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-07-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-07-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-07-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-07-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-07.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Couches run parallel in the bow.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Bill Doster<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>Head the latter direction and note the SX\u2019s dual elevated consoles. Both are topped with their own stylishly curved TaylorMade windshields and offer a degree of wind and weather protection. Below, ample storage is provided for carry-on bags or to slide in a cooler. The helm console follows the upscale\/minimalist theme with a single ultra-wide Simrad NSX touchscreen dominating the dash, linked to C-Zone controls. Sometimes, however, it\u2019s quicker and easier to just to hit a button rather than navigate through menus. Soft-touch, backlit controls are smartly arrayed to port and starboard. Both consoles feature recessed wireless charging cubbies for phones as well as UBB\/USB-C charging ports. The port console adds a glove box to secure smaller items, just keep in mind it\u2019s not lockable should you leave the boat.<\/p>\n<p>A small prep station awaits behind the helm. Use its solid-surface counter for food prep, a bottle opener to pop some caps, and interior storage for trash or supplies. Opposite, Starcraft\u2019s Quad Lounge completes interior accommodations. As the name implies, it morphs into four separate positions from a 5-foot-6-inch-wide sunbed to forward or rear-facing recliners, or back-to-back lounges that complete a social scene forward while offering a more private couch facing aft. Smart buyers will opt for the stern rail enclosure package, as it allows passengers to use the latter seat while underway and not just while on the hook or at the sandbar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/boats\/2025-starcraft-rx-25-q-dc-bbg\/\">Starcraft RX 25 Q DC<\/a><\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-06-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Starcraft SX 25 Q DC sunpad\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-06-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-06-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-06-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-06-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTGBG26-PON-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-06.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Starcraft\u2019s Quad Lounge incorporates a forward-facing bench\/aft sun pad combo.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Bill Doster<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engine\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>As to performance, equip the SX 25 with up to 425 horsepower. We already tipped off the impressive acceleration and midrange of our tester\u2019s Mercury 400 XL. It ran out to 30 mph in 5.6 seconds before topping out at an even 50 mph. It also proved a fun boat to carve around at speed, with Starcraft\u2019s HMX PR25 Performance Package adding a third 25-inch pontoon down the center and interior lifting strakes to allow the boat to dart in and out of corners without losing its grip. A subtle inside lean kept occupants comfortable and secure.<\/p>\n<p>Need a point of comparison? <a href=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/boats\/2026-sanpan-2700-split-bench-with-windshield-bbg\/\">Godfrey\u2019s Sanpan 2700<\/a> likewise adopts fiberglass exterior panels for \u201926 and comes in a similar bench\/sunpad combo aft. Equipped with the same Mercury 400, it starts around $190,000. Harris\u2019 Grand Mariner 250 mixes molded bow components with traditional fencing. With a rear lounge and similar power, it starts at $180,985. Perhaps the closest competition comes from a branch on Starcraft\u2019s own family tree. <a href=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/boats\/2026-sylvan-g5-clz-bbg\/\">Sylvan\u2019s G5<\/a> DLZ DC boasts a similar exterior, dual consoles and its own unique aft lounge. With identical power, it starts at a competitive $146,525.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that\u2019s yet another plan that came together.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BTG126-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-1-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Starcraft SX 25 Q DC motoring on glassy water\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BTG126-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BTG126-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BTG126-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BTG126-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BTG126-Starcraft-SX-25-Q-DC-1.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The SX 25 Q DC offers impressive acceleration.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Bill Doster<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How We Tested<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Engines:<\/strong> Mercury 400 Verado XL<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Drive\/Prop:<\/strong> Outboard\/Mercury Revolution X 17.25\u201d x 20\u201d 4-blade stainless steel<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Gear Ratio:<\/strong> 2.08:1 <strong>Fuel Load:<\/strong> 40 gal. <strong>Crew Weight:<\/strong> 375 lb.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High Points<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bow gate\u2019s acrylic panel increases the captain\u2019s visibility when docking.<\/li>\n<li>Center tube adds space for a large in-floor locker\u2014great for larger, bulkier items.<\/li>\n<li>Power canopy is standard.<\/li>\n<li>WetSounds MC-2 stereo includes six primary speakers, a pair on the transom and remote touchpad control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low Points<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be wary of jamming items into the console;
